Subject: [aso-council] Ad ASO participation in ICANN recruitment process
Message-ID: <438B7143.9020609@oslo.net>


In response to your invitation to assist in the hiring process for the
position for Vice President, Policy Support.

Following discussions in the council I politely have to decline the
opportunity to personally take part in the interview process for
candidates.  The ASO thinks ICANN recruitment process should be the
responsibility of the ICANN President and staff and that in order to
avoid conflicts of interests the Address Council should not be directly
involved.

The Address Council will however offer its advice on requirements needed
for this possition:

The AC belives the following qualifications are mandatory for the position

- intimate knowledge of IP addressing policies,  preferably in all
regions, but at least in more than one region
- participation in the global and regional IP policy foras for several
years
- technical knowledge of the IP addressing numbering system for IPv4 and
IPv6
- technical knowledge of the Internet routing system
- inter-personal skills
- general knowledge of Internet governance

We assume there will be similar requirements of knowledge of the policy
processes in other areas but refrain from making specific
recommendations outside our area of expertice.

Yours Sincerely,


Hans Petter Holen

ASO Address Council Chair
