2022: Resigning as Chairman of ICANN
President of ICANN Corporation Göran Marby left his post. This was officially announced on December 22, 2022 by the chairman of the board of ICANN Tripti Sinha. The decision looks unexpected as Marby's term is still nearly 18 months away. Previously, this period was limited to May 2023, but in October 2020, the corporation's board extended it until May 2024. Now until that time, Göran Marby will take a consultant position to ensure smooth devolution.
Sally Costerton, the corporation's senior vice president of stakeholder engagement, has been appointed interim acting president of ICANN. Observers believe that she has a good chance of taking the presidency on a permanent basis. In particular, the argument in her favor is that Costerton has a wealth of experience in the field of public relations, and ICANN has been repeatedly reproached in recent years for a lack of transparency and not too skillful work with the media.
As for Göran Marby, the period of his leadership causes contradictory comments, the former president has enough both ardent supporters and harsh critics. Domain Incite, reporting on Marby's resignation, notes that he will definitely be remembered for at least one achievement: Göran Marby became the first president of ICANN, whose annual salary exceeded one million dollars.
