Something is fishy here.


Paul Twomey is [FIVE WORDS DELETED HERE -MF] He is partners with Ira Magaziner who is responsible for the white paper giving rise to ICANN (and ultimately approving of ICANN as newco).

Twomey controls the GAC. ICANN staff defers to the GAC as if the GAC were the board of directors.

Now, ICANN authorizes $75k to GAC, which inevitably will be paid to Twomey and Magaziner.

What's the real deal?

Given that Twomey is no longer employed by the Australian government nor does he represent the Australian government in the GAC, one has to ask why he is involved at all???

That the best way to disarm the GAC would be to turn it into another ICANN board. That means it would need conflicts of interest, sleazy people, and board squatting.

So they get this guy then ... I could have been really catty in this comment, I pulled my punch!
