RE: [nc-budget] Job description

Philip,

 

One of the problems I had with mixing the technical/operational support in with the policy and financial support of the Secretariat role is that the technical/operational role will overshadow the policy role.  Whereas I absolutely recognize the need for the operational responsibilities, I personally believe that the long term success of the DNSO and maybe even ICANN rests on the ability to succeed on the policy side.

 

Ideally, in my mind, it would be best if the Secretariat function could be performed by someone different than the technical/operational functions.  But it is not clear that there will be enough funds for that.  If funding was not an issue, I would recommend creating two job descriptions, one for the Secretariat function that focuses on the policy and budget management side (objectives 2 and 4) and one for the technical/operational support.

 

Why don't you do a cut and paste job on the latest job description so we can see what you would specifically recommend.

Chuck,

I am not proposing two secretariats.

But from a budgeting perspective it is better to separate and separately account for different activities.

This means that in the future should we need to prioritise one activity over another

we can do so easily because:

- the activity will be well described in the job description (Chuck drafting)

- a corresponding item for the activity will be in the budget (Philip drafting)

 

(All it needs is a copy and paste job adding the new detail you have under the corresponding obj 1-4.)
