*"ICANN should establish \[by INSERT DATE\] formal mechanisms for identifying the collective skill-set required by the ICANN Board including such skills as public policy, finance, strategic planning, corporate governance, negotiation, and dispute resolution. Emphasis should be placed upon ensuring the Board has the skills and experience to effectively provide oversight of ICANN operations consistent with the global public interest and deliver best practice in corporate governance."* |
1. What skill sets do you feel currently missing from the board and how will your skills fill those gaps?

More than one skill missing, it is an experience missing.
We have people coming from one silo generally elected by the supporting organizations or with one (or more) competency coming through the NomCom.
Very few have multi-silo experience and specific skill(s).
But more than anything else is the voice of the end users missing. This election will start to resolve that issue.
I think I can help to fill those gaps.
Regarding my experience (I try to put that in my SOI) I can answer the following,
Public policy: I am doing that within ICANN since 10 years. And it is also what I was doing in for not profit organizations in direction of the youth (UCPA) and the CIOs (CIGREF and EuroCio)
Finance: it was one part of my MBA training and I run an important IT project including the responsibility of a budget of US$40 million;
Strategic planning and Corporate governance: As Deputy CIO at SNCF (French Railways) and Deputy CEO at Cigref (CIO organization), I took an important part in the definition and rollout of those two key processes;
Negotiation: with providers (Air-Inter, SNCF, Cigref), with partners and employees (all the time)
But what I would like to bring to the Board is a mix of skill and knowledge.

Regarding involvement in potential or planned gTLD applications, I have no such involvement.
