ICANN's Brad White interviews ICANN's new President and CEO Göran Marby. Published May 15, 2016. You almost have to feel sorry for this guy--he obviously has no idea what he is getting into--and he already has been "fed" a lot of misinformation and false narratives about ICANN.

It’s that simple ... See the biggest difficulty for an incoming presidency to ICANN is two parts. The first is his title. The title is a problem because [when] you come in, you think you’re a CEO. You’re not a CEO. This is not a typical CEO job. And so you get into your head all kinds of things about being a CEO that just don’t apply here. And so the title is problematic. And I’ll tell him [new ICANN CEO] this after he signs his offer." (emphasis added)
