ICANN has posted '... immediate job openings for the position of Liaison Managers for multiple world regions.' http://www.icann.org/general/jobs.htm#RegionalLiaisonManagers. The job listing does not state the preferred location of the successful candidates? Are the positions located in the two existing offices of Marina del Rey and Brussels, or are they located in regional offices? 'I note that 'ICANN Staff posted the latest version of the Strategic Plan on 6 May 2005 and has extended the public comment period until 20 May 2005.' http://www.icann.org/minutes/resolutions-03may05.htm. I also note that Version 7.3 of the plan http://www.icann.org/strategic-plan/strategic-plan-v7_3.pdf states ' In addition there are a number of areas that are included in this plan that have been identified by the community through the consultation process as needing more discussion and further work. Rather than attempt to deal with these issues in the timeframe of the current plan, they are listed here so that they can be given the detailed treatment that they need as part of the next planning cycle. Those issues are: ... . Determining whether ICANN should have segregated funds . Clarifying the nature of ICANN's regional presences ... ' It seems inappropriate, then, to post these 'immediate job openings' when 1. Version 7.3 of the plan is still open for comment. 2. Version 7.3 proposes deferment and detailed treatment of issues related to regional presence 3. The Board has not approved Version 7.3 of the plan or any variation thereof. Perhaps this is a logistics error, in which case the job listings should be removed ASAP with appropriate notice. If it is not a logistics error, would Board and/or staff please explain? Alick Wilson
