Waow! in the wake of my previous note on Christian Lindholm joining Yahoo!, this is a huge news. Vint is one of the fathers of the Internet, and definitively one of the most well-known guys. I’ve mentionned him before here and I recall meeting him for the first time in Boston back in 1994 at ACM SIGCOMM. Times flies…
His ICANN bio is here. The Google press release is here. Waow, really difficult to hire someone else to boost the google, er stock, juice of Google… Now’s he’s Google’s own CHIEF INTERNET EVANGELIST !!!

Om’s take on it is definitively worth a read.
