ICANN backtracks on executive pay transparency
ICANN has not disclosed the results of a recent board vote to award the CEO his bonus, apparently reversing an earlier move to make that kind of information public.
The board voted last week to give Göran Marby his “at risk” compensation for the second half of the org’s fiscal 2021.
It’s not clear from the resolution whether he’s getting his full 30% or just a portion thereof.
It’s also not clear whether the vote was unanimous or not.
As I noted in February, ICANN disclosed that three directors voted against a resolution to give Marby a pay rise, which put him well over the million-dollars-a-year mark.
I wondered aloud back then whether the unprecedented decision to publish the vote on a matter of executive compensation was an accident, or a move towards increased transparency by the org, which I would have applauded.
The resolution from last week contains no such information, suggesting February may have been a publication accident after all.
The minutes from the February meeting have yet to be published, four months after the fact.
