- Thread-topic: [council] Meeting with the Board - Qualities of a new CEO
Hi everybody
this is my first mail to the Council-List. I am not yet a member so I apologize
for starting early.
I wanted to make just one point with regard to the CEO. In the NomCom we had
long discussions about the natrue of ICANN as a provate corporation and the
fact, that there is a great difference between a "shareholder corporation" and
a "stakeholder corporation". Sometimes we had the impression (not only in the
NomCom) that there are a number of people who want to see ICANN as a
"shareholder company" like Intel, Google, Microsoft or Versign. This would be a
great misunderstanding. ICANN is not owned by "Shareholders" (and has not to
please them). ICANN is constituted by "Stakeholders" (and has to please all of
them equally). What does it mean for the new CEO? She/he certainly has to
understand how to manage a 100 million corporation but not in a sense to
maximize profit. She/he has to understand that ICANN manages a "public trust"
on behalf of a broad variety of stakeholders rooted in the private sector, in
the technical community, in the civil society and in governments.
My 2 cents.

In terms of priorities I would put it like this:
1. Experience with international relations, knowing different cultures, dealing
with it, practice;
2. Means to support multistakeholder model: experience in balancing of the
interests being a neutral;
3. Family/enterprise/corporate experience in managing funds and companies. CEO
experience;
4. The last one charisma and leadership: work to do and balance is more
important that running a roadshow.
And my favorite one. I strongly believe that names of all candidates must be
aired. I don't care if anyone will be hurt by not picking as CEO and consider
this secrecy as an attempt to hide deals behind it.
Running for a president and loose won't hurt anybody in America or elsewhere.

Hiring a new CEO
What qualities do you think we ought to be seeking in a new CEO? Perhaps
thinking about:
· The nature of ICANN & the role it plays. Balancing technology
sector, innovation, operational stability, financial management, being run in
the public trust
· Qualities of the previous incumbents and what you did or did not
think were effective (for ICANN) about them?
· The new/current world order (AOC, new gTLD programme, global economic
environment, emergence of new technologies, enhanced interest of governments)
· Desirable skills & experience - charisma, leadership, government
relations, private sector, financial, operational, international experience
What are your criteria for openness, transparency etc. in the hiring process?
(bearing in mind considerations of responsibility to candidates and community,
privacy, Board confidence)
· Do we expect to see (and influence by e.g. public comment) the
specification and key selection criteria?
· Do we expect see and give feedback on the above or anything before
the hiring process commences?
· Do we expect to have any interaction during the course of the hiring
process? Updates, information, influence? If so, how?
· Do we expect to influence or comment on the final outcome?
Anything else?
· Any other comments or issues on the hiring of a new CEO?
· Performance criteria and measures of a successful appointment?
· Term & termination provisions?
