<p style="line-height:1.4rem;margin:0px 0px 1.25rem">
<span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">The CEO committee searching for a replacement for Fadi Chehadé has been active since it was <a href="https://features.icann.org/president-ceo-search-committee" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank">chartered
by the Board in June in Buenos Aires</a>. Three vectors of competence have emerged as significant dimensions guiding the search: (1) managerial and operational competence; (2) ability to relate to and work with our community; and (3) representation in the
international arena.</span></p>
<p style="line-height:1.4rem;margin:0px 0px 1.25rem">
<span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">Community outreach and referrals, targeted advertising on the Internet, and advertisements in <em>The Economist's</em> print edition and website have yielded well over 100
candidates. Of the candidates, 93% are male and 7% are female. They come from the following regions:</span></p>
<blockquote style="padding:10px 20px;margin:0px 0px 20px;border-left-width:5px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(238,238,238)">
<p style="line-height:1.4rem;margin:0px"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">9% Africa<br>
16% Asia<br>
27% Europe<br>
7% Latin America and the Caribbean<br>
41% North America</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="line-height:1.4rem;margin:0px 0px 1.25rem">
<span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">Winnowing a large list of candidates is relatively easy at the beginning of the process, but becomes increasingly more difficult as the process continues, since the candidates being eliminated from consideration
are increasingly experienced and well qualified. The committee is therefore moving somewhat more slowly in its deliberations, in order to assure that the decisions made are in the interests of obtaining a CEO that is best suited to leading <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers" style="direction:ltr;border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:dotted;border-bottom-color:rgb(153,153,153)">ICANN</abbr>.</span></p>
<p style="line-height:1.4rem;margin:0px 0px 1.25rem">
<span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">The committee has begun the interviewing process and will continue for the next couple of months. It is striving to come to a set of recommendations before the end of the year.</span></p>
