<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">As part of its commitment to
transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement, ICANN regularly
conducts organizational reviews. The primary purpose of these reviews is to
evaluate ICANN's performance and its effectiveness in fulfilling its mission of
serving the global Internet community. These assessments cover various aspects
of ICANN's operations, including governance structures, policy development
processes, financial management, accountability mechanisms, and management of
critical Internet functions such as domain name systems (DNS) and IP address
allocation.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">To maintain objectivity and
impartiality, ICANN employs independent third-party evaluators who have
expertise in organizational assessments and who are not affiliated with ICANN.
These evaluators gather input and feedback from a diverse group of stakeholders
including the Internet community, governments, businesses, and civil society
through an extensive stakeholder engagement process. The valuable insights they
obtain from these stakeholders aid in developing a comprehensive evaluation of
ICANN's performance and identifying areas for improvement. After the evaluation
process, the evaluators present their findings and recommendations, which may
include operational enhancements and changes in governance structures.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">ICANN takes these recommendations
seriously and is committed to implementing them to improve its operations and
better serve the global Internet community. It's important to note that ICANN
conducts various types of reviews, including those of its Supporting
Organizations and Advisory Committees, in addition to its organizational
review. These reviews are essential to maintaining ICANN's accountability,
transparency, and responsiveness to the changing needs of the global Internet
community. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b>Continuous improvement work
either within or outside of ICANN</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">. Within ICANN, this could
encompass ongoing efforts to streamline policy development processes, optimize
the allocation of domain names and IP addresses, improve financial management
practices, and enhance governance structures. ICANN is also engaged in
iterative improvements to its stakeholder engagement methods, transparency
initiatives, and accountability mechanisms. These efforts are aimed at ensuring
that ICANN remains responsive to the ever-evolving needs of the global Internet
community and continues to fulfill its mission effectively.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Continuous improvement work
outside of ICANN often involves data-driven analysis, employee engagement, and
a culture of innovation to drive ongoing positive changes that lead to
increased efficiency, customer satisfaction, and overall organizational effectiveness.</p></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Nov 4, 2023 at 6:06 AM Tomslin Samme-Nlar <<a href="mailto:mesumbeslin@gmail.com" target="_blank">mesumbeslin@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">Thanks, Julf.<div dir="auto">That would be very helpful for the PC to be able to objectively select from those whove expressed interest.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><span class="gmail_chip gmail_plusreply" dir="auto"><a href="mailto:muyiwacaleb@gmail.com" style="color:rgb(17,85,204);text-decoration:underline" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">@Caleb Olumuyiwa Ogundele</a></span><span> </span> <span class="gmail_chip gmail_plusreply" dir="auto"><a href="mailto:john@mediarightsagenda.org" style="color:rgb(17,85,204);text-decoration:underline" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">@John Gbadamosi</a></span><span> </span> <span class="gmail_chip gmail_plusreply" dir="auto"><a href="mailto:bruna.mrtns@gmail.com" style="color:rgb(17,85,204);text-decoration:underline" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">@Bruna Martins dos Santos</a></span><span> </span> @<a href="mailto:frankwesia@yahoo.com" target="_blank">frankwesia@yahoo.com</a> can you provide a description of your familiarity with Organizational Reviews and knowledge of continuous improvement work either within or outside of ICANN?<br><br><div dir="auto">Warmly, <br>Tomslin</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, 4 Nov 2023, 00:17 Johan Helsingius, <<a href="mailto:julf@julf.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">julf@julf.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">I would suggest volunteers / candidates describe their familiarity with<br>
