Summary

Text
Whereas, ICANN's CEO and President announced his intention to leave ICANN at the conclusion of his term, on 1 July 2012.
Whereas the Board has initiated planning for the CEO succession process.
RESOLVED (2011.09.17.09) the Board Governance Committee is directed to recommend a slate of Board members to comprise a CEO Search Process Management Work Committee for the Board to consider at its next meeting.
Implementation Actions
- Recommend a slate of Board members to comprise a CEO Search Process Management Work Committee.
- Responsible entity: Board Governance Committee
- Due date: None provided
- Completion date: October 2011
Rationale
The ICANN Board has begun a process for planning for the CEO succession process, to assist in transition of the leadership. The establishment of a work committee will allow the Board to coordinate this process with regular reporting to the Board as a whole, as well as reviewing opportunities for involvement in the community in the CEO succession process. Timely succession of the ICANN CEO will assist the organization in maintaining its work in overseeing the security and the stability of the DNS. The establishment of the work committee will not have a financial impact on ICANN, though resources are likely to be required at later points in the process.
