RE: [bc-gnso] RE: GNSO Shelves New gTLD Work Due to Lack of Staff Support

[Marilyn Cade <marilynscade@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am also quite concerned about these vacancies, but also the related vacancies 
for enforcement /compliance. The comment made about staff support for Council 
policy development really didn't touch these critical positions, and it is very 
important that Berry and Adam are calling your attention to those positions.
Adam, Berry, I am working on comments on the Ops Plan/Budget. I am thinking 
that we should make a clear statement on the implications of these positions.
I am not going to dwell on this, but having hired, trained, and coached folks 
in such positions, we MUST recognize that being hired is not being effective in 
a position, leaving aside other challenges. So, ICANN's delays in hiring have 
significant impact on ability for staff to actually 'do their job'.

I know these jobs require skilled managers and are not easy fills, but it 
alarms me they have gone vacant so long.  I don’t understand how we can 
seriously expect good results from even the best planning, if there is a lack 
of leadership to execute those plans.   This concerns me, and assuming others 
feel the same, I think it is something we need to continue to use our BC voice 
to remind ICANN that it must have an effective staff infrastructure in place 
that instills trust in the community.  This is now more important than ever.

Support The three open reqs still appear on ICANN’s Career section. In other 
news, there are two new reqs for gTLD operations, make a total of three for the 
new program.

Hi,Phil’s post about staff workload reminded me---is there any update on 
ICANN’s efforts to fill some of the key security and compliance jobs?  
Apologies if these are filled now and I missed it.  I don’t see them listed on 
the staff web directory.Best,Adam PalmerSymantec
