[council] Crowdsoucing a performance review of the CEO

[John Berard <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

As you know, I have previously suggested that the Council create the 
opportunity for the full community to offer input to a performance review of 
the CEO.

Separate from what the Board is likely doing as Fadi nears his second year in 
office (to be marked at the London meeting if you assume a Prague meeting start 
or Los Angeles if Toronto is more accurate), I propose we issue a call for 
contributions from the community that can be forwarded to the Board.

I suggest ways ask those contributions address feedback on how Fadi has done 
delivering on the four objectives to which he committed in Toronto:

1. Affirm the purpose of ICANN

2. Operational excellence and quality

3. Internationalizing ICANN

4. Evolve the multi a stakeholder model

As he said, these four objectives led to 16 goals, 50 initiatives and 156 
programs.

It may be that the Council is not the perfect entity to manage the call, 
collection and distribution of community comment, but we are in a position to 
identify and work with whomever we think is best suited.

In Prague, when Fadi introduced himself to the community, he said he 
was/"driven by building consensus," "all about inclusion," admitted he had been 
"reproached" for acting unilaterally in the past and wanted to "work at mutual 
understanding."

A call for comment in review of his first two years in office can help Fadi do 
just that.

I propose we discuss this at our open hour at noon today or during the Board 
prep session later in the afternoon.

Cheers,

Berard
