So really, can you blame ICANN President and CEO Paul Twomey for stepping down at the end of the year? Who would want to preside over the implementation of a plan facing opposition from virtually every corner, including the one occupied by the U.S. Department of Commerce? Not I. In a statement issued this afternoon, Twomey said he will not seek another three-year term when his contract expires later this year. “While I am deeply and personally committed to Icann and its success, I think this is the right time for me to move on to another leadership position in the private or international sectors,” he said.

Right time, indeed.
