Swedish regulator Goran Marby was selected on Monday to serve as the next CEO of the non-profit corporation responsible for overseeing Internet access and functions around the globe.

Marby will take over the California-based Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers in May. ICANN is the independent body governing Internet access worldwide, and its power is set to grow when it assumes independent control of the agency responsible for operating domain names on the web in September. To date, jurisdiction over that department has been maintained by the U.S. government.
