Saw that too.
Seems like a vanity hire on googles part. I breifly looked through his bio on several sites and it didn't seem like he had worked on anything "incredible" in awhile.
The guy is obviously brilliant though. Perhaps he moved to do interesting work, he did call them, and the WSJ article alluded to that.
ICANN

Saw it
But what significance does that have ?
