Daniel E. Halloran
Deputy General Counsel
ICANN is pleased to announce the promotion of Daniel E. Halloran to Deputy General Counsel. One of ICANN's longest-serving employees, having joined the organization in May 2000, Dan has previously served ICANN as a Registrar Liaison, Chief Registrar Liaison, and was the corporation's Acting Secretary before General Counsel John Jeffrey assumed that responsibility.
In his new role, Dan will continue to be called upon for his knowledge and experience with gTLD registrar and registry matters.
