Much more diplomatically put, Tim.

Although, if the latter is true, I would certainly like to know that. ________________________________ From: Tim Ruiz [mailto:tim@godaddy.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2011 10:55 AM To: Rosette, Kristina Cc: council@gnso.icann.org Subject: RE: [council] ICANN hires weight loss guru as vice president? 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. Tim

All,
(With credit to Kevin Murphy at DomainIncite for breaking the story) ICANN has reportedly hired "a psychotherapist with a distinctly Buddhist bent who has previously specialized in weight loss" as Vice President for Organizational Effectiveness. http://domainincite.com/; http://www.icann.org/en/general/staff.html. 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? I propose we raise this example of misplaced organizational priorities with the Board. I'm willing to sacrifice my GAC question to do so. Comments? K

I share your concerns Kristina. If management priorities seem somewhat heterodox and results dont show up, its time to demand more thoroughly the transparency of adopted criteria.

Hello Kristina,
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
That is what I understood also. The change in reporting is to separate the areas of service delivery/operations from legal compliance. From: http://hostedjobs.openhire.com/epostings/submit.cfm?fuseaction=app.allpositions&company_id=16025&version=1 There are two open positions in compliance: Contractual Compliance Manager (OHCONCOMGR) Marina del Rey, CA, US. Senior Director, Contractual Compliance (OHSRDIRCC) Marina del Rey, CA, US. Regards, Bruce Tonkin
