Reply To: Candidates who do not have key industry experience in the domain space (e.g. you have NOT worked directly for an organization in this space) what is your pitch that you can add value to the Board and the complex industry issues it faces?

[Adam]

As part of the 2023 Election process ( https://www.cira.ca/en/board-and-governance/board-election/letter-to-the-nomination-committee/ ), CIRA identified two key sets of skills and experience needed on its Board of Directors.

One of these skill sets is experience and knowledge in the Domain Name System, with such qualifications apparent among the relevant candidates.

The second key skill set identified by CIRA is financial literacy and advanced, practical experience in Finance, Audit, Investments and Risk oversight at the Board and Committee level. My experience in all of these areas – as in independent corporate director (ICD.D), as an audit partner (CPA, CA), and as a Chief Financial Officer ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-e-harvey-cpa-ca/ ) – can benefit CIRA on behalf of Canada’s Internet community and users.

I encourage CIRA members to consider these criteria when voting, including on the Nomination Committee side.
