Jorge,

may be are you forgetting who came from where through the National 
Cyber Security Center to direct ICANN during the three years of the 
OpenStand boostrap, preparation and signature period 
(http://www.beckstrom.com). "Leaderless organizations are changing 
the world": in his book he explained he has experience and expertise 
in leading and fighting them. We most probably see this expertise and 
this experience partly in action. It would be surprising he had no 
say in the choice of his successor.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Beckstrom explains why he disliked 
the NSA. Cybersurveillance is fun, but the need is for serious 
cyberdefense for all, i.e. the Sao Paulo's focus by a President who 
was no upset by the surveillance but by the penetration.  "People are 
creating new ways to break into your network every day". This is what 
MUST to be stopped. Amaterism is over. Paid or volunteers 
*professionnals* must take over.
