Re: [ga] DNSO Secretariat
Dear Erica,
You are absolutely true. We must make sure the secretariat is not to
represent any particular region. This is why considering the abnormal
over representation of a small (by head count) part of the world at the
DNSO, hiring a consultant from that region seemed highly
inapropriate.
Because it precisely underlines geographic aspects which should be
neutral. Just think about the uproar if that Autralian person was to
select a New Zealand secretary. It would dramatically highlight the
geographical aspect we do not want.
I apologize here to Elisabeth: people from the icann-fra list pointed out
that she actually is 50% French and 50% Polish, by birth, life and ...
iCANN oriented meetings. So Eastern Europe is represented by .5 person
and Europe and France by .5 person less in my mathematics. I know
Elisabeth is much demanded for a new project but I do not know what her
plans are. If she was to be replaced finding againg her kind of non
internet-dominant multi-cultural roots would certainly be an asset for us
all when the DNSO has to make a real outreach effort - if it (is to)
survive(s). As she is an NC Member Europe(s)/France would not lose
presence. So it would be a nice way to introduce a new culture we might
all benefit from. Don't you think so?

Hi
Jefsey,
In your email below you suggested that
geographical location should be a key criterion against which a
provider of DNSO Secretariat services should be selected.
This issue has been thoroughly canvassed by the
NC and it has been agreed that the search process should be global with
the selection made against objective selection criteria on the basis of
merit. In this way, the position can be de-politicised
and you can be assured that the DNSO funds are responsibly managed
- that is, that the DNSO gets the 'best bang for its buck'.
In this context it is important to recognise
that the role of the Secretariat is not to represent any particular
region, but to serve the DNSO and ensure the efficient and effective
delivery of information and technical support services.
Regards,
erica

- Dear Erica,
- thank you for the reminder: this partly addresses the point of Danny
about the dnso.org webmaster.
- I am surprised this document does not reflect the need to correct the
current geographical unbalance of the DNSO top set I documented (12.5 %
of the persons being from ANZ). I hope the budget alocated to the
hired consultant will permit him to consider candidates outside of
his sub-area.
- If Secretariat was to leave Europe, it should go to China, India or
Latin America, may be Africa. I suppose everyone will agree with this.
