The position summary states
<https://icann-openhire.silkroad.com/epostings/index.cfm?fuseaction=app.jobInfo&version=1&jobid=213889>:
"Inform a variety of constituents regarding the role that ICANN
plays in the Internet ecosystem. Facilitate solutions to challenging
problems in a manner consistent with ICANN’s mission, remit and
policies. Manage and participate in a number of cross-organizational
projects relating to safeguards with the goal of addressing a
variety of kinds of abuse and illegal activity, including
spam/malware, intellectual property infringement, the unlawful sale
and distribution of pharmaceuticals and controlled substances, and
other illegal activities on the Internet, particularly where there
is a focus on multi-stakeholder collaboration and a commitment to
promote consumer trust in the domain name system. Work with ICANN’s
leaders to set the consumer safeguards strategy and plans for ICANN."
I like a consumer trust position. But this doesn't say anything about
who the person reports to, and the openness of the positions activities.
E.G., I'd hope we would be able to see if this is focused on assuaging
the concerns of the pharmaceutical or film industries and not name sale
abuses by registries or registrars.
But I have a question about the origin of this position. Is this
something ALS requested? Did this arise from a staff initiative that is
thought to respond to needs expressed by the ALS? Or otherwise? Did the
ALS have an opportunity to set the scope of this position?
Best,
Tom
