<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">“Internet group picks little-known executive as CEO”<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">NEW YORK (AP) — A businessman with experience in building consensus will be the next CEO of the Internet agency in charge of contentious policies surrounding Internet addresses, The Associated
Press has learned.<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, which is pushing through a major change in the way Web and email addresses are structured and assigned, plans to announce
<span>Fadi Chehade</span>'s appointment in Prague on Friday. He will replace former U.S. cybersecurity chief Rod Beckstrom as chief executive.<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In selecting
<span>Chehade</span>, <span>ICANN</span> went with someone who isn't well known and isn't well versed in the organization's core tasks — keeping the
<span>Internet address system</span> running smoothly.<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Chehade does, however, have a knack for diplomacy. In the early days of e-commerce, he persuaded leading tech companies such as IBM and Hewlett-Packard to collaborate on a system called
<span>RosettaNet</span> for exchanging data, even as they competed for customers.
<span>ICANN</span> Chairman Steve Crocker said those achievements outweighed the drawbacks.<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In an exclusive interview with the AP ahead of the announcement,
<span>Chehade</span>, 50, said his work at <span>RosettaNet</span> prepared him for the new role.<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">"The thrill and the satisfaction of bringing people around some common understanding is tremendous," Chehade said. "I have a personal and deep love of bringing consensus."<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
