[council] DRAFT/early thoughts on what a CEO performance review motion

[john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

 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.
