The International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the organization that oversees the creation and management of top-level domains like .com, .org, and the myriad of international and special purpose domains like .tv and .mobi, has appointed Rob Beckstrom as its new CEO. The announcement came at the conclusion of ICANN’s 35th international meeting in Sydney, Australia, and follows Paul Twomey’s announcement last March that he would step down as ICANN CEO by the end of 2009.
