I have known Fred Searle for 18 years, working with him overseas for 12 years. I can recommend him both as a team player and as team leader. He is dedicated to the task in hand and gets things done and will work long hours to do so. He is a sucessful web master and is interested in communications and all things internet. He has sat on various boards and committees and his vast experience will be an asset to the ICANN board. I fully support his nomination.

He has worked in the communications environment in many parts of the World over many years and hs built up a vast knowledge in the subject. His organisational and management skills are excellent.

John Clark

His long experience in communications and web design stands him in good stead. This is based on my experience with him both in service with the British Army and afterwards.
Robert S. Shand Mr Searle has always shown himself to be both an honest and subjective personage when it comes to taking his responsibilities seriously. He is the type of person one can trust to make decisions in the interests of those for whom he has taken on responsibilities as a leader and has already proved himself with a lifetime in the field of electronic communications.
John Fortey

I support Fred’s nomination very strongly. I am new to the internet and am still finding my way around… Since joining I have visited website, www.birgelenvets.org, as I was in that army unit. Fred has been most helpful in advising where to look for information and contacts. It is a very active site as you will see by the dates of messages/info etc, and, for a newcomer a very friendly site. Also replys to queries are answered within a day usually. I expect that I am only echoing comments already made about his site management but I do mean what I say.

I have known Fred Searle for about 40 years. He is a man of great integrity and dynamism, who will fully contribute to, and participate in, all ASO related matters and be a perfect ambassador for them; he is not a “9 to 5” man and always gives 110% so I have no compunction in recommending his nomination to the ICANN Board.

Fred Searle is, a highly respected man. The respect comes from his tenacity of purpose, resilience to setbacks and a drive from within that is envied by many. Further, he would be an asset to any organisation that he associated himself with and it would be that organisations loss if it did not take advantage of his very willing services.I for one, thoroughly endorse his membership being sure of the very solid contribution he would make if appointed.
Roberta Paton

Mr Searle is extremely experienced in Communications. He is adaptable, continually updating his skills in this information technological age. His people skills are second to none.
Maxwell Scott

An ideal candidate, who possesses two main core skills for this post, Management and Talent. I feel Fred would provide the insight, wisdom and competencies that ICANN needs to achieve its’ policies and objectives. Over a great number of years, Fred has developed the necessary skills to handle all types of challenges and if elected, I’m certain his diversity and expertise would be of great value to ICANN and it’s Supporting Organisations. If you are seeking a person to fulfil the ‘strategic needs of the Organisation’ and who is capable of proactively seeking best practices, then don’t hesitate – elect Fred SEARLE!
John Graham
