Hi Rafik,<br>
<br>
I totally concur, its important "The Experts" should be
people who understand issues on the ground in regards to
ICANN and are fully aware of the global Internet Ecosystem
as it has evolved and continues to evolve with ICANN role
and issues regarding Internet Governance as Mary mentioned,
to me in as much all these folks are knowledgeable folks in
their own right, they will have a lot of literature to go
through first and then face to face dialogue meetings to
conduct before they can give any expert advice, I do not
think that's what is required now. Well that's my personal
observation. It will be interesting to see what methodology
they shall use in conducting their assignment as "Experts".<br>
<br>

<br>
Poncelet

<div dir="ltr">Hi Milton,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>it is good question about how ICANN
give procurement / hire consultants for many
sensitive issues in not that transparent
process.</div>
<div>I don't know how to assess those experts but
they seems more familiar to business/corporate
world and their probable lack os knowledge that
you mentioned in details raise questions how
they can fit such important positions.</div>
<div>I do agree with Mary comment too regarding
diversity,</div>
