[NCUC-DISCUSS] Diversity issues vs personal preferences

[dorothy g]

Thanks Thato for sharing this.  Let us publish the statistics and track.
While at one level I am shocked by the answer at another level it is just
more of the same. Plus ça change plus c'est la même chose.
Since the session was not recorded there are clear limitations on what can
be done.  I guess the CEO's performance targets should be public as well
even though the performance review itself would be subject to privacy
norms.  There is nothing stopping us from setting our own performance
metrics for the CEO and measuring his achievement against our own metrics.
What do we want from the ICANN CEO?
At a human level maybe he was tired and he expressed himself poorly but the
data will hold up the reasons why the question was raised in the first
place.
