Maarten Botterman is an independent strategic adviser on Internet governance and related issues with more than 25 years' experience in guiding governments and major organizations on the economic, business, and societal impacts of current and future Internet innovations and technologies. During those 25-plus years, he participated in and led more than 50 international projects and studies and published more than 80 peer-reviewed reports for governments and industry on Future Net issues with teams, including experts with advanced academic degrees from many disciplines, ranging from technology and mathematics to economics and law, and from many different countries and cultures.

Maarten was employed as Head of Unit and Senior Adviser to the Dutch Government (1987–1995) and as Scientific Officer to the Communications Technology Research program that was run by the European Commission (1995–1999). These years brought many insights about the public interest and governance aspects of the developing global, networked knowledge society. These insights were further deepened when working for RAND Corporation, setting up and running an Information Society policy practice in Europe (1999–2006), with an emphasis on policy evaluation and scenario planning. Since 2006, he has been working as an independent strategic adviser to governments and businesses in close cooperation with leading independent research institutions in Europe (including RAND Europe, TNO Netherlands, DTI Danmark, Inno France, and CIVIC Germany). Today, he is internationally recognized as a governance and future Internet expert and is a regular contributor to international Internet governance events such as the Internet Governance Forum, where he is leading the Dynamic Coalition for the Internet of Things.

Next to advising the Dutch government and the European Commission on Internet governance issues, he got deeply involved in ICANN's work as a Board member and Chairman of the Public Interest Registry (2008–2016), over time actively participating in more than 40 ICANN meetings. Having worked internationally since 1995, he has extensive experience in working with people from different national and cultural backgrounds, and is comfortable in engaging in English, German, French, and Dutch (mother tongue). He has a reputation as an independent, trustworthy, out-of-the-box thinker who is able to look at issues from several perspectives with strong awareness of the bigger picture. Having served on boards and having reported to boards, he has extensive experience with effective board governance and the responsibilities and obligations that come with a director's position on a U.S. nonprofit board. Over the years, he has been a frequent guest speaker and/or moderator, mostly at smart technology-related events.

Maarten holds an advanced degree in business economics from Erasmus University Rotterdam. He is a certified coach and has a certificate in medical-based knowledge, both of which help in better understanding of what drives people in decision-making and going through life. In addition, he has completed several board excellence trainings with internationally renowned institutions, including Harvard Business School, INSEAD, IMD, MIT, Yale School of Management, and Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management. His areas of interest include government, civil society, and technology.

Maarten is based in Rotterdam, Netherlands. He was nominated to serve on the ICANN Board by the Nominating Committee in 2016 and served as Board Chair from 2019 until 2022. His third and final term will expire at the Annual General Meeting in 2025.

La semana que viene la Junta Directiva de la ICANN se reunirá para nuestro segundo taller de la Junta Directiva de 2022. Se había planificado como nuestra primera reunión presencial desde enero de 2020. Además de esta reunión, los presidentes de las Organizaciones de Apoyo y Comités Asesores (SO/AC) han estado trabajando con la Organización de la ICANN para celebrar una sesión de mesa redonda presencial tres días antes del taller.

Estaba previsto que estas reuniones se celebraran en Los Ángeles. Sin embargo, en los últimos días, los casos de COVID en el condado de Los Ángeles han aumentado significativamente y, como resultado, los Centros para el Control de Enfermedades (CDC) aumentaron su clasificación de riesgo de transmisión comunitaria de COVID al nivel Alto. Nos basamos en las clasificaciones de riesgo de los CDC para tomar nuestras decisiones. También revisamos las estimaciones de la trayectoria de este último aumento en las próximas semanas y toda la información objetiva disponible.

La Junta Directiva analizó el aumento de los casos, el cambio en el nivel de riesgo de los CDC, la trayectoria y la responsabilidad colectiva que tenemos de garantizar la salud y la seguridad de todos los participantes, incluido el personal de la Organización de la ICANN que apoyaría los eventos, y reconocimos el riesgo adicional de reunir a todos los líderes de la ICANN en un lugar, en estas circunstancias, tan solo seis semanas antes de la reunión ICANN74.

Por lo tanto, la Junta Directiva decidió cancelar el componente presencial de nuestro taller y volver a una reunión únicamente virtual. También analizamos la situación con los líderes de las SO/AC y quiero expresar mi agradecimiento y reconocimiento por su aporte y apoyo, compartimos la decepción de no poder reunirnos en persona en este momento y que en cambio sea en un entorno virtual.

El equipo ejecutivo de la Organización de la ICANN había planificado reunirse de forma presencial justo antes del taller, pero ahora ha vuelto a una reunión únicamente virtual.

Esto es decepcionante, dado que teníamos muchas ganas de reunirnos, y que se habían realizado todos los arreglos para viajar. Además, era una oportunidad para poner a prueba los protocolos de seguridad antes de llegar a La Haya para el Foro de Políticas ICANN74. Continuaremos vigilando el nivel de riesgo en La Haya, y la Junta Directiva debatirá cualquier posible ajuste de las normas para adaptarse a las circunstancias cambiantes durante el próximo taller, y eventos posteriores. Somos conscientes de la importancia de que la Comunidad vuelva a reunirse en persona. Juntos haremos lo que podamos para garantizar un entorno seguro y acogedor para los que decidan participar de forma presencial en La Haya y los que decidan participar a distancia.

Compartiremos actualizaciones y, como siempre, proporcionaré un avance del próximo taller antes de que comience.
