[council] ICANN Board resolutions from 28 Feb 2013

[Bruce Tonkin <Bruce.Tonkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

See below for Board resolutions from the Board meeting on 28 Feb 2013.

http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-28feb13-en.htm

Nothing much to report from a GNSO perspective.  There were a couple of changes 
approved for country codes .ml (Mali) and .укр (Ukraine) .

The decision on appointing the Arab Center for Dispute Resolution  as UDRP 
Provider was deferred, pending the outcome of public comment on their updated 
proposal.   It last went for comment in 2010 I believe.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin

 
 
 1  Consent Agenda:

a. Approval of Board Meeting Minutes

Resolved (2013.02.28.01), the Board approves the minutes of the 2 February 2013 
Special Meeting of the ICANN Board.

b.  Action from Board Compensation Committee

Whereas, the retention of high calibre staff is essential to ICANN's operations 
and ICANN desires to ensure competitive compensation for staff.

Whereas, the Board recently appointed David Olive as an ICANN Officer (see 
http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-02feb13-en.htm#1.e).

Whereas, independent market data provided by independent compensation experts 
indicates that the current compensation for David Olive, ICANN's Vice 
President, Policy Development Support, falls within ICANN's target of the 50th 
to 75th percentile based on market data supplied by ICANN's independent 
compensation experts.

Whereas, the Compensation Committee and the full Board have confirmed that they 
are not conflicted with respect to the Vice President, Policy Development 
Support's compensation package.

Resolved (2013.02.28.02), the Board adopts the current compensation of Officer 
David Olive, Vice President, Policy Development Support, as reasonable based on 
the market data and recommendations from the independent compensation experts.
