> I would like to both support Bruce Tonkin's statement, and ask that also
> those of us from the community who have experience in how the SOs
> elect/select their Board members, perhaps consider that we should be
> thinking about more of the Board being elected -- e.g. a return to 3 per
> SO, with then a minority appointed. This may also be a step forward toward
> accountability, as the nature of the Board is more grounded in the
> communities also responsible for key roles within ICANN, and with deep
> roots in the various SOs. This still leaves a significant number of Board
> seats for Nominating Committee appointment, but it strengthens
> the ties to accountability from the Stakeholders.
>
> This is somewhat a new proposal, but I am surprised it has not surfaced
> before.

> “The ICANN Board represents the executive entity the community may act

> I recognize that this is in the context of the new community powers – but
> I would like to see a little more positive an broader description of the
> role of the ICANN Board.

> Perhaps something more along the lines of:

>
> “The entity appointed by the community to oversee the organization on the
> community’s behalf”
>
>
>
> Ie the Board comes from the community – it is not really an executive
> branch of the staff.      In fact it is a comprised of non-executives apart
> from the CEO.
>
>
>
> The board’s role is also to hold the staff accountable to deliver on the
> commitments agreed with the community in the strategic and operating
> planning process.
>
>
>
> While the CCWG is looking at additional accountability mechanisms – I
> think it should also be recognized that the Board itself is one of  the
> existing mechanisms, however imperfect it may be.   It is as much tied to
> the community through its selection process as the AC and SO councils.
