Slate</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I
have an important message to share with you. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The
Board has selected Maarten Botterman as the next
Chair of the ICANN Board following the process
outlined in the <a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/informing-leadership-slate-practice-23jun19-en.pdf" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank"> <span style="color:black">Board Governance
Committee Practice for Board Engagement in
Developing Slate for Board Leadership</span></a>.
I am proud to welcome Maarten as my successor,
and look forward to supporting him and working
with him toward a smooth transition.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;background-color:rgb(255,255,0)">I’m
also pleased to announce that León Felipe
Sánchez Ambia has been selected Vice Chair. Many
congratulations to León as he takes on this
important role.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">They
will be seated after the formal election that
will take place at the Annual Meeting at ICANN66
in Montréal. Our advance planning for the
transfer of those responsibilities will support
continuity in ICANN's service of its mission.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">As
part of this leadership change, current Vice
Chair Chris Disspain has stepped down from that
role. In the interim, I will ask the Board to
appoint Maarten to serve as Vice Chair until he
becomes Board Chair. I want to thank Chris for
his partnership as my Vice Chair over the past
two years. His knowledge and skills will remain
a great asset to the Board over the next year. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">For
your information, the other candidates for Chair
were Chris Disspain and Ron da Silva; the other
candidate for Vice Chair was Becky Burr.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Congratulations to Maarten and
León. They are exceptional leaders whose fresh
perspectives and insights will be of great value
as ICANN embarks on the 2021-2025 Strategic Plan.</p>
