David's message said "we are hoping to post a notice shortly
concerning the two open positions".<br><br>
I sort of assumed/hoped/prayed that the notice would say that they had
filled the positions, not that they had shelved the them!<br><br>

Although, if the latter is true, I would certainly like to know that.

<dd>I would like to here the Board's thought about the recent direction
in<br>
<dd>Staffing. Also, I undertood David's earlier response regarding
the<br>
<dd>Compliance Diretor to mean that Compliance now reports to Legal and
so<br>
<dd>there is no intent to fill that position. Perhaps I misundertood,
and<br>
<dd>perhaps it isn't yet clear to Staff either. <br><br>

<dd>> (With credit to Kevin Murphy at DomainIncite for breaking the
story) ICANN has reportedly hired "a psychotherapist with a
distinctly Buddhist bent who has previously specialized<br>
<dd>> in weight loss" as Vice President for Organizational
Effectiveness.

<dd>> 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<br>
<dd>> 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? <br>
<dd>> I propose we raise this example of misplaced organizational
priorities with the Board. I'm willing to sacrifice my GAC question
to do so.<br>
