* The CEO Search Committee was properly formed chaired by an experienced and respected personality.
* The external consultant was chosen through a bidding process
* The pre-screening of CEO applicants was conducted by the external search consultant
* Transparency was improved-the internet community had the opportunity to comment on the draft for the CEO job description and aspects of the selection process
* ICANN advertised the vacancy for ICANN CEO position in the Economist, a weekly international publication
The group also noted that ICANN's advertisement in the Economist did not include the ICANN is a not-for profit organization and the phrase "private-sector led multistakeholder organization instead it was rephrased in such wherein ICANN fulfill its mission by "engaging in a global community of thousands of actively participating stakeholders" with a role in keeping the internet secure, stable and interoperable. The group commented that the sentence seemed weakened the multistakeholder principle.
In response, Dr. Crocker appreciated that the group is monitoring the selection process and informed the group that the ICANN Board receive a strong response from highly qualified candidates. He also acknowledged that the comments they provided were good and the absence of the words "not-for profit" is unfortunate, it should have complemented the words "public service," which are "fundamental nature of ICANN."<ref>[http://serenidee.over-blog.com/article-selecting-icann-s-next-ceo-letter-2-98206997.html Selecting ICANN's CEO Letter 2]</ref>
