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
