5. What is your assessment of the ICANN Board of Directors' governance with respect to the following factors:
- ongoing evaluation of Board performance,
- the Board selection process,
- the extent to which Board composition meets ICANN's present and future needs , and
- whether an appeal mechanism for Board decisions is needed?
from Avri:
I believe it is really remiss that the Board is responsible for evaluating its own performance as opposed to having a committee that includes members of the SO and ACs do the evaluation.
An appeals mechanism is most definitely necessary, and various recommendations for such an appeals mechanisms were made the during the review before the MOU was replaced by the AOC. While the AOC Review mechanisms are a start they are not sufficient.
