[NCUC-DISCUSS] Diversity issues vs personal preferences

[Sonigitu Ekpe]

Hello! Thato,

Good question, but did you first ask yourself the origin of ICANN and the
founding Fathers motives on the Global Landscape?

How far is the journey and roles / contributions of the various
stakeholders?

We can proceed...

Hi members,

I am sharing this message as a concerned member of NCSG.

Today, 28 June 2018, ICANN 62 during the Fellowship seşsion we were
 visited by the CEO of ICANN and after a lengthy discussion followed Q&A, a
question was asked about diversity in appointment to ICANN org staff and
the board since it seems like a certain type of people were preffered over
other races.

The troubling response from the CEO was that his decisions were personal
and he is not prepared to answer this and started swaying his response
towards gender balance that exists with the board and ICANN org which was
not the actual question.

Now this expérience makes one wonder how accountability is measured or
evaluated within ICANN org as it seems like they do as they please. This
response from the CEO left fellows disgrantled and I think this matter
needs to be taken forward and escalated to the board and community before
further damage is done. The response from the CEO was inconsiderate, not
appropriate, unethical, unproffessional and was way out of line.

Comments are welcome on this matter as I believe that accountability needs
to strengthen, thanks for taking time for reading.
