> respected contributor to the Internet community and his experienced
> leadership will reinforce and deepen ICANN's long term participation in the
> technical community of which it is a critical part."

> In his new position, Akplogan will help ICANN conduct technical engagement
> and outreach. He will also provide some valuable links to the ICT community
