Darlene, I would put through the following statement: The "independent review" of the Nominating Committee has seen processes invoked that raise probity concerns, namely (1) "guidance" being provided at the behest of the ICANN Board Governance Committee by three active ICANN Board members and three former ICANN Board members: Alejandro Pisanty, Peter Dengate-Thrush, Njeri Rionge, Mouhamet Diop, Jonathan Cohen and Steve Goldstein; and (2) the selection of a consulting group to perform the review whose roster of principals includes a former ICANN Board member, Lyman Chapin, who was directly responsible for the creation of the Nominating Committee. In the aggregate, the direct involvement of so many current and former ICANN directors in the review process thoroughly endangers the concept of detached independent assessment as a corporate accountability mechanism. regards, Danny --- "Thompson, Darlene" <DThompson@GOV.NU.CA> wrote:
