===Outside Opinion===
One of the qualifications that was frequently discussed by ICANN attendees and commentators is whether or not the next CEO should be an American. Those against having another American CEO argue that the organization is already so U.S.-centric that a non-American leader would bolster ICANN's international reputation. The proponents of an American CEO note that the CEO must be able to work closely with the U.S. government, and command respect from American lawmakers and lobbying groups.<ref>[http://aptantech.com/2012/01/737/ ICANN's New CEO Needs to Fit the Bill, Aptantech.com]</ref>
