<p>thanks, Sandra, for your response. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>However, I still question this limitation to numbers. If we restrict the number to only five, we will have one per region, but then we have to consider that sub regional cultural issues are important -- what works in Australia and New Zealand or Japan, or
South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, may not fit the small Pacific Islands. Asian countries are very diverse. As is the LATAM /Caribbean regions. The Caribbean is different from South America. Europe is different from the US and Canada, etc. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>And, five will not allow sufficient gender diversity or skill/background diversity. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Can you share more information about why the initial group would be so limited? When we discussed this at the meeting during ICANN59, this limitation was not clear, and I recall that Fiona and I both indicated interest at that time. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>with much interest to better understand</p>

cultural nuance and differences is a challenge for every global organization. ICANN is rich in its cultural diversity and global reach. Developing Cultural Intelligence at ICANN is a learning experience focused on improving cultural knowledge and awareness;
what we are calling Cultural Intelligence. We will examine our behaviours and beliefs and how they impact our awareness and interaction when working with people from different cultures. We will explore the dual dimensions of culture like: individualist
vs. collectivist; direct vs. indirect; formal vs. informal; and hierarchical vs. democratic. Leveraging our in room talent there will be much interaction, discussion and activity about similarities and differences around the world and around the room. Additionally,
we will consider specific cultural challenges ICANN deals with and how to best overcome them. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></i><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:black"></span></p>
