Internet Patriarch Cerf Leaves ICANN, Sets Sights on Space Web
Vinton Cerf, known by many as one of the founding fathers of the Internet, will be stepping down at the end of this week as chairman of the board of ICANN. Cerf, who is also Google’s vice president and chief Internet evangelist, has served for three consecutive terms as chairman of ICANN, which is the maximum allowed by ICANN rules. His last act as chairman will be to hold a board meeting on Friday morning; after that, a new board will meet and vote on a new chairman, ICANN spokesman Jason Keenan told TechNewsWorld.
