Former Cyberchief to Head ICANN?

Posted by Kara Reeder Jun 25, 2009 11:58:16 AM

According to an Associated Press article on Newsvine.com, former U.S. cyber security chief Rod Beckstrom is the top candidate to head ICANN. Beckstrom's approval could come as early as Friday with a board vote that caps weeklong meetings in Sydney, Australia.

 

Serving as the first director of the Department of Homeland Security's National Cybersecurity Center means Beckstrom has plenty of security experience. That service could either be a blessing or a curse. His government experience may help him with upcoming negotiations about the future of ICANN. However, many have accused him of burning bridges after his blunt resignation.
