[bc-gnso] RE: GNSO Shelves New gTLD Work Due to Lack of Staff Support

[Marilyn Cade]

I am also quite concerned about these vacancies, but also the related vacancies for enforcement /compliance. The comment made about staff support for Council policy development really didn't touch these critical positions, and it is very important that Berry and Adam are calling your attention to those positions.
Adam, Berry, I am working on comments on the Ops Plan/Budget. I am thinking that we should make a clear statement on the implications of these positions.
I am not going to dwell on this, but having hired, trained, and coached folks in such positions, we MUST recognize that being hired is not being effective in a position, leaving aside other challenges. So, ICANN's delays in hiring have significant impact on ability for staff to actually 'do their job'.

I know these jobs require skilled managers and are not easy fills, but it alarms me they have gone vacant so long.  I don’t understand how we can seriously expect good results from even the best planning, if there is a lack of leadership to execute those plans.   This concerns me, and assuming others feel the same, I think it is something we need to continue to use our BC voice to remind ICANN that it must have an effective staff infrastructure in place that instills trust in the community.  This is now more important than ever.

Apologies if these are filled now and I missed it.  I don’t see them listed on the staff web directory.Best,Adam PalmerSymantec
