Following the announcement by ICANN CEO Fadi ChehadÃ, who has been CEO since
2012, that he will be departing ICANN after the ICANN Public Meeting in March
2016, the ICANN Board of Directors established a search committee to plan and
execute a strategy to identify CEO candidates for submission to the Board. The
committee was established at the Board's 21 June 2015 meeting, and its
membership consists of George Sadowsky (chair), Rinalia Abdul Rahim, Cherine
Chalaby, Steve Crocker, Chris Disspain, Markus Kummer, Ram Mohan and Ray Plzak.
All candidate inquiries must be directed to Odgers Berndtson (contact email
below).
ICANN: The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers
ICANN's global public interest mission is to promote the stability and security
of the global Internet through coordination of the unique identifiers that
comprise its naming and addressing systems - numbers, names, and protocol
parameters.
ICANN's mission touches all countries and it fulfills it by engaging with a
large global community of actively participating stakeholders representing the
domain name industry, governments, businesses, academia, NGOs and individuals,
dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable. ICANN has
three meetings a year that gather about 1,500 participants each.
ICANN was formed in 1998 as a Californian public benefit not-for-profit
corporation. ICANN's current baseline operating expense budget (excluding
initiatives) is about US$113 million, mostly derived from fees levied on domain
name registrations.
The past three years have been key in establishing ICANN as a global
organization. In addition to the hub office in Los Angeles, USA, ICANN has hub
offices in Istanbul, Turkey, and Singapore, and engagement offices in Beijing,
Brussels, Geneva, Montevideo, Seoul and Washington. The organization currently
has 325 staff spread across 30 countries.
In addition to the globalization of the organization, the new generic Top-Level
Domain (gTLDs) Program was developed, which includes gTLDs in both Latin and
non-Latin scripts such as Arabic, Chinese, and Cyrillic that allow people to
use a domain name in their native language or script. More than 1,300 new gTLDs
are expected to be delegated in total.
ICANN's multistakeholder model is essential to the organization's ability to
serve the global public interest and to enhance its accountability and the
trust in its work. The organization is currently undergoing substantial global
community-led efforts to strengthen this model.
The ICANN website (http://www.icann.org <https://www.icann.org/> ) provides
extensive information about the organization and the way it works.
Some key characteristics of ICANN's are:
ICANN as an Organization
* ICANN is a unique not-for-profit organization that comprises and serves
a broad, global group of stakeholders from across all sectors that work to
develop its policies through an inclusive "bottom-up" process
* Transparency, inclusion, and participation form the basis of its
conduct of business and its accountability towards stakeholders and the larger
public

between the ICANN staff led by the CEO, the global volunteer community, the
Board of Directors and the stakeholder constituencies
ICANN within the Internet Governance Ecosystem
* ICANN is part of a broader, distributed Internet governance ecosystem
with other major players including key partners in the technical community.

remit.
* ICANN also works with a growing number of non-technical players in the

associations, as well as private organizations) and participates within its
specific remit and responsibilities for the Internet's system of unique
identifiers
