Transition Coordination Group

> Dear Chapter-Delegates,
>
> The ISOC Board Chair, Bob Hinden, on behalf of the ISOC Board of Trustees
has issued the following statement regarding ISOC’s appointments to the
NTIA/IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group.
>
> Best regards,

> ---------------
>
> The Internet Society (ISOC) appoints Narelle Clark, Director of
Operations- Deputy CEO for the Australian Communications Consumer Action
Network (ACCAN) and Dr. Demi Getschko, CEO of the Brazilian Network
Information Center (NIC.br), as the ISOC representatives on the NTIA/IANA
Stewardship Transition Coordination Group.
>
>
>
> Ms. Clark is also a member of the Internet Society Board of Trustees and
President of the Australia Chapter of the Internet Society.
>
>
>
> Dr. Getschko is also an Associate Professor in Computing Architecture at
Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP), Vice-President of
the Brazilian Chapter of the Internet Society and a Board Member of CGI.br.
>
> The appointees chosen by the Internet Society Board of Trustees have been
selected after as thorough a search as possible within the timeframe made
available by ICANN. The Trustees thank the community for its understanding
of the rushed nature of the process.
>
>
>
> Calls for candidates with expertise across all facets of the IANA
function including policy, operational and technical protocols were sent to
ISOC's chapter and organizational members as well as the broader community.
>
>
>
> A mixture of applications and nominations were received.  After checking
with the nominees, a total of 31 candidates were considered by the Board,
minus Narelle Clark, who had recused herself, acting as a whole. The pool
included many strong candidates meeting many of the criteria, however it
was felt that candidates with a lesser degree of proximity to active ICANN
workgroups were preferred in order to preserve the status of the Internet
Society as an independent steward within this process. In addition,
candidates were evaluated on their understanding of the multistakeholder
model as well as a demonstrated ability to work across all of the
ICANN-related stakeholder groups with the confidence of the community.
Additional experience in dealing directly with government and commercial
contracts was also highly desirable.

> The Board selected Narelle Clark and Demi Getschko based on these
evaluation criteria.

>
> The Board of Trustees would like to express its deepest thanks to all of
those who have offered their services for this effort and trusts that it
can draw upon your expertise as we progress along this journey. Future
consultations will be essential in building the appropriate framework for
the future management of these crucial Internet functions.
