<div style="margin-top: 5pt; margin-bottom: 5pt; ">(With credit to Kevin Murphy at DomainIncite for breaking the story) ICANN has reportedly <font face="Arial, sans-serif">hired "a psychotherapist with a distinctly Buddhist bent who has previously specialized
in weight loss" as Vice President for Organizational Effectiveness. </font><a href="http://domainincite.com/"><font face="Arial, sans-serif" color="#0000FF"><u>http://domainincite.com/</u></font></a><font face="Arial, sans-serif">; </font><a href="http://www.icann.org/en/general/staff.html"><font face="Arial, sans-serif" color="#0000FF"><u>http://www.icann.org/en/general/staff.html</u></font></a><font face="Arial, sans-serif">.</font></div>
<div style="margin-top: 5pt; margin-bottom: 5pt; "><font face="Arial, sans-serif">ICANN has gone without a Director of Compliance for almost 9 months and the GNSO Council is being told that no new policy work should be initiated because of staff workload, yet
ICANN focuses its resources on hiring a VP for Organizational Effectiveness? Unbelievable and inexcusable. Does anyone believe the organizational effectiveness has improved since Mr. Levinson was hired? </font></div>
