The day after I posted this article, the agenda item was changed from "Approval of Ombudsman" to "Approval of Ombudsman Framework". Maybe they *still* aren't going to properly appoint an Ombudsman. I don't know. No specific proposal has been posted yet for Board action unbder this agenda item, or for public comment.
The Board has never appointed an Ombudsman, unless they have done so in secret (and thus in violation of the transparency Bylaw). But the (proposed?) Ombudsman Framework [icann.org] says, "The Office of Ombudsman reports only to ICANN's Board of Directors. The Ombudsman cannot be removed from office, except by a 75% majority vote of the board." The Ombudsman Framework doesn't mention the requirement in the Bylaws that the Ombudsman must be appointed by the Board.

The person acting as "Ombudsman" has a response [icann.org] in his blog, and I have posted my reply there as well. It's a lengthy exchnage, so I won't repeat it here, although I have archived it.
