Dublin, Ireland, November 2025 — The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has announced the reappointment of Tripti Sinha as Chair of the ICANN Board of Directors and the appointment of Sajid Rahman as Vice Chair. The announcement was made during the ICANN84 Annual General Meeting held in Dublin, Ireland, from October 25–30, 2025, where three new Board members were also seated.
Tripti Sinha, who joined the ICANN Board in 2018, has been reappointed for her fourth term as Chair. She brings over 30 years of experience in Internet infrastructure, research networking, and global coordination. Currently, she serves as President and CEO of Internet2, a leading nonprofit technology corporation. Previously, she held the role of Assistant Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at the University of Maryland, where she led Advanced Cyber Infrastructure and Internet Global Services and the Mid-Atlantic Crossroads.
“I am honored to continue serving alongside such a talented and globally diverse Board,” said Tripti Sinha, ICANN Board Chair.
“This year marks an important moment for ICANN as we implement the next Strategic Plan and strengthen our role in a changing Internet governance landscape. Our focus remains clear: ensuring the security and stability of the Internet’s unique identifier systems, advancing the next round of new generic top-level domains, and deepening collaboration across our global community.”
Sajid Rahman, appointed as Vice Chair, joined the ICANN Board in 2022 and currently serves as Chair of the Board Finance Committee. A business and technology leader, Rahman’s career spans digital services, emerging markets, and governance. He is the Managing Partner of a fund investing in late-stage technology and renewable energy infrastructure projects, and has previously served as Managing Director at Standard Chartered Bank and Group CEO of Telenor Health, where he built and scaled a global digital healthcare business.
“ICANN’s Board reflects the diversity, collaboration, and shared purpose that define the global Internet community,” said Sajid Rahman, Vice Chair, ICANN Board of Directors.
“As we navigate unprecedented technological and societal shifts, I look forward to working with my fellow Directors as we advance ICANN’s mission and strengthen engagement across all regions.”
ICANN also welcomed three new members to its Board: Constance Bommelaer de Leusse and Raúl Echeberría, selected by the ICANN Nominating Committee, and Greg DiBiase, selected by the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO). Their expertise in Internet governance, policy, and technical operations will further reinforce ICANN’s global mission.
The Chair and Vice Chair serve one-year terms, while voting Board members serve three-year terms. The Board includes 20 members (16 voting and 4 non-voting liaisons), representing global diversity and technical excellence in Internet governance.
