Earlier today saw the official opening of the 34th public ICANN meeting in Mexico City, Mexico.
As is common with ICANN meetings there was an opening ceremony at 9am local time. What probably wasn’t expected was for Dr Paul Twomey to announce his departure:
“Last year, I told the Board that I did not want to renew my contract as President and CEO for another 3 year term,” said Twomey. “While I am deeply and personally committed to ICANN and its success, I think this is the right time for me to move on to another leadership position in the private or international sectors.”
Full details of Twomey’s planned departure from ICANN may be found in the ICANN announcement from earlier today
