At least a year before he was named President/CEO an official of the evil ITU told me how it would go down, and so it did. With all the fuss about Joe Sims, Louis Touton and a few others really running things, Twomey kind of snuck in under the radar because he made bland public comments and seemed like a nice guy. Some in the ITU have nothing but scorn for ICANN and such shenanigans, and no wonder.

Not that I thought that .asia was a particularily good idea, but let them try and either succeed or fail. It won't harm any governments, which presumably is what GAC's mandate is. -g
