[NA-Discuss] FW: [At-Large] NomCom review

[Danny Younger]

Darlene,

I would put through the following statement:

The "independent review" of the Nominating Committee
has seen processes invoked that raise probity
concerns, namely (1) "guidance" being provided at the
behest of the ICANN Board Governance Committee by
three active ICANN Board members and three former
ICANN Board members:  Alejandro Pisanty, Peter
Dengate-Thrush, Njeri Rionge, Mouhamet Diop, Jonathan
Cohen and Steve Goldstein; and (2) the selection of a
consulting group to perform the review whose roster of
principals includes a former ICANN Board member, Lyman
Chapin, who was directly responsible for the creation
of the Nominating Committee.  In the aggregate, the
direct involvement of so many current and former ICANN
directors in the review process thoroughly endangers
the concept of detached independent assessment as a
corporate accountability mechanism.

regards,
Danny
