Dear ICANN Community Members,<br>
<br>
I am pleased to announce that our VP of Policy, Denise Michel, has accepted the
new position of Advisor to the CEO and we have recruited David Olive to serve
as ICANN’s Vice President of Policy Development. <br>
<br>
</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Denise's
new responsibility will draw on her outstanding work at ICANN over the last
decade, which included helping to create what is now our global At-Large
community, building an excellent ICANN Policy Staff, launching ICANN's
independent reviews and restructuring initiatives, and personally shepherding
some of ICANN's most important policy initiatives. Denise will help lay the
ground work for ICANN's new accountability and transparency initiatives and
provide Rod with strategic advice. She will be working, in part, out of ICANN's
Palo Alto office.<br>
<br>
I am really excited to be adding David Olive to our team. He adds both
significant strength to ICANN’s management team and senior presence in
Washington DC. David joins ICANN from Fujitsu, where he had a successful twenty
year career, and was General Manager and Chief Corporate Representative of
Fujitsu’s D.C. Office. He advised Fujitsu on business planning, corporate and
business development, and public policy issues affecting information
technology, the Internet, electronic commerce, electronic government,
telecommunications, and science and technology. <br>
<br>
In addition to his strong track record at Fujitsu, David has been an active
participant in various technology-centric organizations, including as a member
of the Commercial Board of Directors of TechAmerica, and as a member on the
Board of Directors of the Computer and Communications Industry Association
(CCIA) in Washington, D.C. <br>
<br>
He has also worked with many global business groups, including the Global
Information Infrastructure Commission (GIIC), the U.S.-Japan Business Council,
and the International Chamber of Commerce. David has been the Public Policy
Chairman for WITSA, a consortium of over 70 information technology industry
associations from economies around the world. David served as a Fujitsu
representative to an OECD group and to the U.S. State Department‘s Advisory
Committee on International Communications and Information Policy. <br>
<br>
David attended undergraduate studies at Georgetown University's School of
Foreign Service and graduate studies at Johns Hopkins University's School of
Advanced International Studies and Princeton University. <br>
<br>
David will report directly to me and join effective 15 February. I am sure you
all will join me in congratulating Denise on her new role, and welcoming David
to the ICANN team!<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Doug<br>
