The Board of Directors of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is finalizing the process to search for and select the organization's next President and Chief Executive Officer. To facilitate this process, the Board has appointed a Search Committee to plan and execute a strategy to identify and recommend a pool of viable candidates to the full Board for the selection of the next leader.

As part of this strategy, the Search Committee is seeking input from the community and other organizations in the Internet ecosystem through a series of Listening Sessions with the ICANN Board. These sessions provide a forum for community members to share their views on ICANN's future, the challenges and opportunities ahead, and the necessary attributes of the next leader. The Board of Directors of ICANN is committed to finding the most qualified candidate to become the next President and Chief Executive Officer.
