Fresh ICANN CEO Fadi Chehadé doesn’t have his own name as domain name

FadiChehade.com registered today, but not by fresh ICANN CEO.

ICANN disclosed this morning that software executive Fadi Chehadé would be its fresh CEO come October.

Naturally, the first thing I did was look up his presence on the web.

Here’s his LinkedIn profile.

Here’s his domain name, FadiChehade.com.

Did you click on his domain name? If so, you noticed he doesn’t own it.

It was registered this morning by Theo Geurts. And Geurts states he got the idea from me based on my article regarding Rod Beckstrom’s whois information ahead of he became CEO of ICANN.

It seems that he’s willing to hand the domain over to Chehade, giving him a (perhaps) warm welcome to the domain investor community.

Checking out the history of the domain, it was previously registered to a different Fadi Chehadé who let the domain expire.

The IDN version of Chehade’s name, FadiChehadé.com, appears to be unregistered.
