IFFOR is delighted to announce it has chosen Business Excellence Solutions (http://bizexteam.com) to establish and manage its Office of Ombudsman.
Business Excellence Solutions brings years of business experience and expertise in design, implementation, and operation of both organizational and classical executive ombudsman programs. Among other services, they provide mediation and facilitation services, customized design of conflict management systems, policy review and design, and specialized, high-tech and intellectual property conflict resolution services.
Business Excellence Solutions was chosen after an extensive international search. The company’s experience with working at an international level was an important consideration in the final decision. In addition to the Ombuds service, the company will also conduct regular audits of the compliance systems run by dot-xxx registry owner ICM Registry, which will also be sent to ICANN.
IFFOR Chairman Clyde Beattie said of the decision: “I am very pleased to have filled this crucial role within IFFOR. I am confident that Business Excellence Solutions will serve not just IFFOR but also the broader Internet community well.”
When the selection of Business Excellence Solutions was announced, Bruce MacAllister, its Senior Principal and Managing Director said “My colleagues and I are excited to have the opportunity to apply our experience in ombuds systems design to this important initiative and we look forward to helping IFFOR provide a world class level of service to ICM Registry and its user community.”
