Re: [bc-gnso] Nom Comm Meeting Report Card

["Caroline Greer" <greer@xxxxxxx>]

The NomComs in which I participated used a headhunter, the same one for two 
years. It was useful enough for initial filtering purposes but the first year 
in particular was challenging, as the ICANN community was completely new to the 
company. And its so unique, as we know!

It takes a lot of coaching and guidance from the NomCom but the idea should not 
be dismissed, in my opinion, particularly if the headhunter has a chance to 
grow in experience over time.

Kind regards

When we have tried this (as the NC I was on did), we found that it was 
confusing to Senior executives that they were going through this layered and 
generalistic approach. 

The head hunter turned up people who didn't know ICANN and wanted to be on paid 
boards, 

Years have passed, and  there is improvement in approach as well as more 
understanding about ICANN. Others on more recent NCs will have better insights, 
like Sarah and Waudo, Phil Lodico...... 

It is worth a discussion, I think. The geographical diversity issue and gender 
issues should also be addressed in our thoughts about good candidates. 

Keeping in mind that the NC also has important appointments in Councils and 
ALAC, as well.

Thanks for bringing your insight to this matter, John.  It's good to hear the 
historical context around the Nom Comm considering appointing the NCAs to 
houses rather than having council wrestle with it.  Waudo and I are grateful 
for this input and solicit other member's suggestions/recommendations as well. 
  
Kind regards,

Ron, 

  

Thanks for this.  Very helpful, item number 2 in particular as the Council got 
itself tied into a knot on this point last year. 

  

I was intrigued by the notion of using a headhunter, too.  It will, of course, 
cost money, but if ICANN is to bust out of its narrower history of choice, 
invitation and selection, it might just do the trick.  

  

I wonder, though, if an interim step might be considered. 

  

There are a (growing) number of companies and organizations that participate in 
ICANN right now.  These entities have two perquisites.  One, they are familiar 
with ICANN.  Two, they have their own boards comprised of outside directors.  

  

I wonder if there is a way to partner with this group to recruit senior level 
executives from that pool of talent? 

  

It would be cool to tap into the executive reach of companies like AT&T or 
organizations like the United Way. 

  

Too crazy? 

  

Cheers,

Dear all, 

  

On behalf of Waudo Segunga and I, please find the Nom Comm report card on what 
was accomplished at our meeting this past Monday (Jan. 21st).  The Committee is 
working through the various channels of activity to meet our mandate, as well 
as raising awareness of the opportunities to serve ICANN in key leadership 
roles <http://nomcom.icann.org/> .  Waudo and I would welcome BC members giving 
thought to whom they know that would be a good candidate.  You can do this 
direct to either of us, or using the simple online recommendation process 
<http://nomcom.icann.org/suggest>.  

  

Thank you for taking a few minutes to consider good people that you would enjoy 
working with and bringing them forward to our attention. 

  

Kind regards, 

  

RA
