Klaus,

As I said, this is new ground and deserves the group's thinking.  Consider my 
efforts merely the provocation.

Dear Berard, Dear All
      
      Whereas, I am not necessarily opposed to the motion, I wonder if      the 
GNSO is the right place to move and develop it. As a newcomer      to the GNSO 
Council, I want to be clear if this is inside the pdp      remit of the council.
      
      Please advice!
      
      Yours, Klaus
      
      PS: Whereas I move, the motion should be filed under "clever ICANN      
CEO's assassination attempts".          :-)

All,
        
Does this get at the intent?  Suggestions          are more than welcome as I 
think we are breaking new ground          here.  I apologize if the format is 
not perfect, but if we          crowdsource it, I think we can button it up.
        
Cheers,
        
Berard
        
Whereas, Fadi Chehade was announced            as the new CEO and President of 
ICANN at the organization’s            meeting in Prague in June 2012, and
        
Whereas, in his first presentation            to the ICANN community in Prague 
in June 2012, he noted that            “I am driven by building consensus.  It 
is the reason I am            here today. There is no other reason. I love 
doing this.            Bringing communities that on the face of it could never 
be            brought together to agree on common things is exactly what I      
      strive to do,” and
        
Whereas, as reported at the time he            joined ICANN, “In selecting 
Chehade, ICANN went with someone            who isn't well known and isn't well 
versed in the            organization's core tasks — keeping the Internet 
address            system running smoothly,” and
        
Whereas, in the two years of his            term, the landscape of the Internet 
and role played by ICANN            has changed in ways equal only to the 
origin of the            organization, including significant budget and staff   
         increases, and
        
Whereas, in response to the            expanded attention to the domain name 
system and ICANN’s            role in managing it, Chehade has championed 
changes in the            policy development process,
        
Therefore, beginning on March 26,            2014 with the passage of this 
motion, and continuing through            the next ICANN public meeting in 
London in June 2014, the            community, under the leadership of a review 
committee            comprised of the GNSO’s constituency and stakeholder       
     leadership, shall have the opportunity to offer comment on            the 
performance of the CEO.
