[governance] former DHS cybersecurity boss as a president

[Joe Baptista]

He's a compromise candidate.  But he is going to suffer from what every
other president has suffered from.  He will have to fight the beast while he
continues the priest hood of ICANN.  It's not a pretty sight.

Also - what appears to be an interesting reversal.  He supports the JPA be
continued.  This is a major reversal in ICANN policy I welcome.  The writing
was on the wall.  I think Beckstrom has a good sense of humor.  His
reasoning for favoring the continuation of the JPA "simply because the
current ICANN setup is working out so well"  shows us he has a sense of
humor.

Beckstrom is the U.S. governments man on the inside.  He's here to crack the
whip.  He may yet dismantle ICANN.  Let's get real here - ICANN is a base of
fools.  Someone recently called them something short of a scam.  Fools and
national security don't go together,

anyway - thats my two cents.
