Evaluation - FAIIP Category

Rec #	Issue	Recommendation
6	The role and effectiveness of the professional evaluation firm (previously OB Frankfurt), generates some disagreement within the ICANN community.	A professional evaluation consultant should continue to be involved in the evaluation process for Board candidates. The role of the evaluation consultant should be clarified and published.
13	The NomCom has made progress in increasing the extent to which it preserves policies and procedures from year to year, however, it still “reinvents the wheel” on many process issues and exhibits a lack of continuity.	Publish a “Process Diagram” and codify key elements of the NomCom process. Each year, the NomCom should be required to highlight and explain process changes to the ICANN community in an open session.
20	The NomCom does not always evaluate candidates in a consistent manner.	The evaluation consultant should undertake a preliminary screen of all Board candidates and provide blinded assessments to the NomCom to assist the NomCom with reducing the pool of candidates to the deep-dive shortlist.
21	The NomCom does not always evaluate candidates in a consistent manner.	The NomCom should use a standardized tool to evaluate and prioritize candidates, based on desired competencies and experience as determined annually. This tool will not replace qualitative assessments of candidates.
22	The NomCom does not always evaluate candidates in a consistent manner.	The NomCom should provide consistent interview questions and an interviewer evaluation form for the candidates interviewed during the deep-dive phase and the final face-to-face interviews.
