ICANN Selects New Interim CFO
by ICANN At-Large Staff Sept. 9, 2011

Sept. 9, 2011

Dear All, Please see below an ICANN News Release announcing the new ICANN interim Chief Financial Officer, Xavier Calvez. Regards, Heidi Ullrich, Seth Greene, Matt Ashtiani, Gisella Gruber-White, Marilyn Vernon, ICANN At-Large Staff <http://www.vocus.com/images/pr/icannheader2_logo.jpg> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 9, 2011 ICANN Names Seasoned International Financial Executive as Interim Chief Financial Officer Xavier Calvez Awaits Board Confirmation as Permanent CFO Marina del Rey, California. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has named Xavier Calvez as its Interim Chief Financial Officer. Calvez comes to ICANN from the Technicolor Corporation, where he has worked for the past 9 years, serving most recently as the Chief Financial Officer of the company's Creative Services Division in Los Angeles. The ICANN Board of Directors, per the organization's Bylaws, must confirm Calvez's appointment as Chief Financial Officer, which it is expected to consider in the coming weeks. Calvez is a citizen of France, where he was born, raised and educated. He holds that country's highest professional accounting and auditing designation, equivalent to the American Certified Public Accounting (CPA) designation. "Xavier Calvez fits our needs perfectly," said Rod Beckstrom, President and Chief Executive Officer. "When you combine his financial expertise with his international experience, it's clear that he will make a strong CFO for our organization as well as our community." Prior to joining Technicolor, Calvez began his career working for the audit firm KPMG and later Deloitte where he expanded his financial and managerial skills. "I am eager to use the international financial and managerial experience I acquired to help ICANN continue its vital mission," said Calvez. Xavier Calvez began his new position yesterday, September 8, at ICANN headquarters in Marina del Rey, California. ### To download a high resolution picture of Xavier Calvez go here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/icann/6127543684/ MEDIA CONTACTS: Brad White ICANN Director of Global Media Affairs Washington, D.C.

To reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address into your computer - a name or a number. That address has to be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN coordinates these unique identifiers across the world. Without that coordination we wouldn't have one global Internet. ICANN was formed in 1998. It is a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with participants from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable. It promotes competition and develops policy on the Internet's unique identifiers. ICANN doesn't control content on the Internet. It cannot stop spam and it doesn't deal with access to the Internet. But through its coordination role of the Internet's naming system, it does have an important impact on the expansion and evolution of the Internet.
