Deutsch and Doria to join ICANN board
Veteran ICANN community members Avri Doria and Sarah Deutsch are to join ICANN’s board of directors in November.
Both have been selected by ICANN’s Nominating Committee to serve three-year terms starting at the end of the public meeting in Abu Dhabi, which wraps up November 3.
They replace current chair Steve Crocker, who is leaving after his maximum three terms on the board, and Asha Hemrajani, who is leaving after one term. Both take seats reserved for North Americans.
Doria, an independent consultant, is a 12-year member of the community and tireless working group volunteer, most closely associated with the Non-Commercial Users Constituency. Her clients include Public Interest Registry.
Deutsch is an intellectual property attorney perhaps best known as a 23-year employee of Verizon. She currently works at Mayer Brown in Washington DC.
Both new directors have been knocking about ICANN for ages in various leadership positions.
This contrasts with previous years, in which NomCom has gone outside of the community for board expertise.
NomCom also selected new members of the ccNSO, GNSO and ALAC, listed here.
