</div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;">Suggested by Phil Corwin:</font><font face="Calibri"> What are your plans to establish an enhanced culture of accountability within ICANN staff that includes a full understanding of the bottom-up
consensus-driven policy development process and that will seek consultation with the community before significant decisions are announced?</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri"><br>
</font></div>
<div>
<div><font face="Calibri">Without reciting all the demonstrative examples, I have heard many within the ICANN community express concern regarding senior staff initiatives over the past few years that they have regarded as top down, as well as about the fact
that so many new staff were hired within such a short period that they had insufficient familiarity with the unique history and design of ICANN. The question also would be useful insofar that the proposed accountability measures are all reactive, and that
greater deference to community views and input prior to decision-making would reduce the need for their use.</font></div>
