ICANN has apparently hired Jeff Moss (aka Dark Tangent) as CSO.
Moss is a well known figure in the internet security community and was founder of Black Hat and the Def Con conferences.

However isn’t Moss a bit conflicted? Isn’t he on one of the review teams?
So how can he work for ICANN whilst also reviewing it?

I suspect this will be clarified when a more official announcement is made
