ABOUT CHEHADE: He’s not well known or well versed in the organization’s core tasks, but he has experience in building consensus — something ICANN strives for in approaching contentious policies.
HIS PAST: In the early days of e-commerce, he persuaded leading tech companies to collaborate on a system called RosettaNet for exchanging data, even as they competed for customers.
