>
>The ICANN Board has begun planning for and
>developing the CEO succession process, to assist
>in transition of the leadership. The
>establishment of a work committee will allow the
>Board to coordinate this process with regular
>reporting to the Board as a whole, as well as
>reviewing opportunities for community
>involvement in the process. Timely succession of
>the ICANN CEO will assist the organization in
>maintaining its work in overseeing the security
>and the stability of the DNS. The establishment
>of the work committee will not have a financial
>impact on ICANN, though resources are likely to
>be required at later points in the process.
