color:navy'>Hi adrian/all - it is a great question. there has been some concern
at the board level as well re staff turnover and available resources for
icann's workload. <br>
<br>
At the bd meeting this past wednesday/thursday, rod addressed these issues, and
indicated that we would be presented with an org chart next week at the retreat
in palo alto to continue discussions. My understanding is that there is no
formal org chart, but that once it is prepared and shown to the board, it will
be posted on the icann website. <br>
<br>
That should provide more information for us all, and a better understanding of
vulnerabilities, if any, to be remediated. Thanks. </span><span lang=EN-AU><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU>Quick question.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU>Is it the Council’s place or business to question
the status of staffing at ICANN?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU>I may be reading this wrong but there seems
to have been a spike in staff turnover in the last 12 months. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU>I could be wrong and this could simply be a
case of normal activity but it causes some concern to me when we have a
particularly important 12 months. I am sure we would all like to ensure that
ICANN is appropriately staffed, with talented and importantly, DNS experienced
people to progress the strategic plan and that the existing staff are supported
and managed through this stressful period.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU>As I say, I am not sure it is our place to

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU>Perhaps we could notify our representatives
on the Board that we believe it to be an issue, if indeed we deem it to be one?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
