New ICANN Head Promises Greater Openness

Posted by michael on from the worth-the-paper-they-aren't-printed-on dept.

PrideOfPomona writes "At ZDNet(UK),"The Internet addressing authority has been criticised as secretive, but new president Paul Twomey says the organisation is to turn over a new leaf"." I suppose it's possible that Twomey will be better.

  1. Paul - Interesting Challenge by RedPhoenix · · Score: 3, Informative

    I've known Paul for a couple of years now. He's a nice enough guy. He's had plenty of political experience as head of Australias 'National Office for the Information Economy' (An IT related government department in Australia), and has also gained some experience by migrating into the commercial world.

    ICANN is a pretty big challenge, and it'll be interesting to see how he goes.. but he's certainly got a fair bit of experience behind him that will probably assist him in the role.
