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

weight loss guru as vice president?<BR>> From: "Rosette, Kristina"

All,<BR>> <BR>> (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>> in weight
loss" as Vice President for Organizational Effectiveness.
http://domainincite.com/; http://www.icann.org/en/general/staff.html.<BR>>
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>> 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>> 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>>
