Line 18: − − ==Previous CEO Search Committee== − In 2008, the previous CEO Search Committee was formed by some members of the ICANN Board who volunteered or self-appointed themselves to become of it. A significant number of consultations were conducted before the [[ICANN Board]] formally approved the composition of the CEO Search Committee. An external consultant was also hired to help ICANN in selecting a CEO but ICANN did not issue any bidding process from interested parties. The responsibilities of the consultancy firm in the CEO selection process was not clearly define by the previous CEO Search Committee. ICANN published the vacancy for the CEO position only in its website. The advertisement for the CEO job was previously inadequate, which undermined the credibility and transparency of the internet governing body.<ref>[http://www.circleid.com/posts/selecting_icanns_next_ceo_letter_2/ Selecting ICANN's Next CEO - Letter 2]</ref> Line 96:

One of the qualifications that was frequently discussed by ICANN attendees and commentators is whether or not the next CEO should be an American. Those against having another American CEO argue that the organization is already so U.S.-centric that a non-American leader would bolster ICANN's international reputation. The proponents of an American CEO note that the CEO must be able to work closely with the U.S. government, and command respect from American lawmakers and lobbying groups.<ref>[http://aptantech.com/2012/01/737/ ICANN's New CEO Needs to Fit the Bill, Aptantech.com]</ref>
