Outgoing ICANN CEO, Rod Beckstrom, gave a strong closing statement at ICANN #44 in Prague; perhaps, his last public speech as head of ICANN.
Looking powerful and strangely handsome, Rob Beckstrom said from the podium that when he joined ICANN, the financial reserves were a mere $57 million.
As he’s about to leave office, ICANN holds onto $444 million dollars in cash reserves.
A few minutes later, Rod Beckstrom was on his cellphone, as the Greek Prime Minister, Antonis Samaras, had an interesting proposal to make.
According to our sources, Mr. Samaras – who underwent laser operation to his right eye just as he’s taken over office – has just lost his Minister of Finance; Samaras is reportedly offering the position of Advisor to Greece to Rod Beckstrom.
“I cannot confirm nor deny these rumors,” said a smiling Rod Beckstrom. “I love Greece almost as much as its rival Turkey that I visited while being ICANN CEO, and I would love to be of assistance there, if I could. My credentials speak for themselves. Opa!” he added with a smile.
The Greek consulate in Washington refused to comment, citing reasons of an ongoing public holiday in Greece to celebrate St. Kirikos.
Hmm, is it just me or is the writing style above is remarkably similar to a certain Bob Recstrum….
Montagne – It’s just you.
