[[Alejandro Pisanty]] pointed out that one of the biggest challenges to the ICANN CEO is working with a Board that changes, has differing opinions and motivations, and its own internal politics. He also pointed out that the following the previous CEO selection process, expectations were too high for the new CEO, [[Rod Beckstrom]], and suggested that the salary for the next CEO could be less than Beckstrom's. [[Desiree Miloshevic]] requested that the process proceed transparently and the CEO applications be made public. [[Ron Andruff]] thanked the committee for the opportunity to comment on the process, as there had not been such an opportunity during previous CEO hiring processes. He also brought up the topic of salary, saying that the CEO's salary should be commensurate with ICANN's success under his or her leadership. [[Werner Staub]] argued that ICANN is too dependent on its CEO, and the next CEO should be someone who is replaceable and makes themselves easily replaceable. He also argued that the position's salary should be lowered. [[Khaled Fattal]] emphasized that the CEO be able to operate on behalf of global public interest, as the Internet is expanding internationally. He also addressed protecting against potential conflicts of interest in regards to the new gTLD program. [[Sebastien Bachollet]] pointed out that the new CEO could come from anywhere, and that they don't need to be a superman or superwoman, but someone who can run the organization under the guidance of the Board and properly serve the volunteers within the organization. [[Jonathan Zuck]] emphasized that ICANN is at a critical point of transition, and that the organization was not being run well enough. The next speaker, [[Roelof Meijer]], agreed, saying that a major criteria for the next CEO should be the ability to improve the quality and performance of ICANN.
