ICANN Elects Peter Dengate-Thrush as New Chairman

An anonymous reader writes "Peter Dengate-Thrush, a New Zealand lawyer, has been elected unanimously as the new Chairman of the Board of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. "I am delighted that my colleagues have placed their confidence in me for this challenging and important role," Dengate Thrush said. Peter practices civil litigation, specializing in intellectual property, competition, and Internet law. He has been involved in ICANN since its inception. As a member of the Boston Working Group, he provided comment in 1998 on the early drafts of the ICANN bylaws, and he co-chaired one of the pre-formation meetings of the Intellectual Property Constituency in Wellington, New Zealand."

I met Peter 3-4 years ago at a conference and all in all I think he'd be a good choice. Of course, ICANN politics and bureaucracy prevents any meaningful change. However, I'm somewhat concerned that he's never explained his role in the yahoo typosquatting incident.
