ICANN appoints four vice presidents for stakeholder engagement

ICANN has announced the appointment of four vice presidents whose mission is to improve the international presence and participation in the organization's multi-stakeholder model.

Newly appointed VPs will be responsible for certain regions, with Veni Markovski responsible for Russia, CIS and Eastern Europe, Pierre Dandjinou for Africa, Baher Esmat for the Middle East, and Savenaca Vocea for Australasia and Pacific Islands. While Esmat, Markovski and Vocea all previously represented ICANN in their respective global regions, Pierre Dandjinou is a respected expert on Internet issues in Africa.

"These new VPs are charged with improving our international engagement with all stakeholders all around the world. We're talking about an inclusive approach that involves governments, businesses, individual unaffiliated Internet users and all other stakeholders," said Sally Costerton, ICANN's head of global stakeholder engagement.
