RE: [council] Meeting with the Board - Qualities of a new CEO
In terms of priorities I would put it like this: 1. Experience with international relations, knowing different cultures, dealing with it, practice; 2. Means to support multistakeholder model: experience in balancing of the interests being a neutral; 3. Family/enterprise/corporate experience in managing funds and companies. CEO experience; 4. The last one charisma and leadership: work to do and balance is more important that running a roadshow. And my favorite one. I strongly believe that names of all candidates must be aired. I don't care if anyone will be hurt by not picking as CEO and consider this secrecy as an attempt to hide deals behind it. Running for a president and loose won't hurt anybody in America or elsewhere. --andrei From: owner-council@gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] On Behalf Of Jonathan Robinson Sent: Saturday, October 22, 2011 8:15 PM To: 'GNSO Council List' Subject: [council] Meeting with the Board - Qualities of a new CEO Importance: High All, PLEASE GIVE INPUT IN ORDER TO BEST INFORM TOMORROW'S DISCUSSION WITH THE BOARD Thanks, Jonathan ________________________ Hiring a new CEO What qualities do you think we ought to be seeking in a new CEO? Perhaps thinking about: . The nature of ICANN & the role it plays. Balancing technology sector, innovation, operational stability, financial management, being run in the public trust . Qualities of the previous incumbents and what you did or did not think were effective (for ICANN) about them? . The new/current world order (AOC, new gTLD programme, global economic environment, emergence of new technologies, enhanced interest of governments) . Desirable skills & experience - charisma, leadership, government relations, private sector, financial, operational, international experience What are your criteria for openness, transparency etc. in the hiring process? (bearing in mind considerations of responsibility to candidates and community, privacy, Board confidence) . Do we expect to see (and influence by e.g. public comment) the specification and key selection criteria? . Do we expect see and give feedback on the above or anything before the hiring process commences? . Do we expect to have any interaction during the course of the hiring process?
