-On November 15, 2012, [[ICANN CEO]] [[Fadi Chehadé]] announced that the long-time ICANN executive and new gTLD lead, '''[[Kurt Pritz]]''', had resigned from [[ICANN]]. Mr. Pritz had most recently acted as ICANN's Chief Strategy Officer, which he assumed after his prior role as Senior Vice President was changed when [[Fadi Chehadé]] assumed his position on September 14, 2012. He has been the lead for ICANN's new gTLD program development and consultations for years. In his prior role, Kurt Pritz oversaw the vitality of the [[Multistakeholder Model]], stakeholder relations, and also the [[New gTLD Program]]. These responsibilities seem to have been split up by CEO Chehadé when he arrived. Kurt's high-profile work has included representing ICANN at judicial and legal hearings in Washington, D.C..
