Much more diplomatically put, Tim.
I had understood David to mean only that John Jeffries is
now the person to whom Compliance staffing questions should be directed and not
that there is no current intention to fill the Director of Compliance
position. Although, if the latter is true, I would certainly like to know
that.
I would like to here the Board's thought about the recent direction
in
Staffing. Also, I undertood David's earlier response regarding
the
Compliance Diretor to mean that Compliance now reports to Legal and
so
there is no intent to fill that position. Perhaps I misundertood,
and
perhaps it isn't yet clear to Staff either.

ICANN has gone without a Director of Compliance for almost 9 months and the
GNSO Council is being told that no new policy work should be initiated because
of staff workload, yet
> ICANN focuses its resources on hiring a VP for
Organizational Effectiveness? Unbelievable and inexcusable. Does
anyone believe the organizational effectiveness has improved since Mr.
Levinson was hired?

raise this example of misplaced organizational priorities with the
Board. I'm willing to sacrifice my GAC question to do so.
