On ICANN page,Rod Beckstrom lets us know how does he feel being ICANN CEO and what are his intentions regarding the domain industry.

He begins his message saying that he is thrilled to be the ICANN CEO and,moreover,that he discovered "ICANN is the most complex organization I have ever come across, necessarily, at least in part, because we must navigate through a sea of stakeholder groups, some of which have been formalized in our bylaws, and all of which have an interest in global Internet names, addressing and parameters"
Of course he admits that there is a lot of work to do,especially when you think there are about 200 million domain names registered and for many of this domains there are different parties who would like to own or control them.
 Rod Beckstrom also presents his vision in this message,saying "My vision as we move forward is to support a globally unified Internet on which addressing remains unique to ensure interoperability. In this Internet world, a merchant in Bali can effortlessly send an email to a businesswoman in Tokyo. Anyone anywhere will be able to interact with anyone else anywhere else in the world, so long as they both can access the Internet. ICANN is already taking steps toward enhancing this functionality."
