Guest LilBambi Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 InformationWeek - David Post and Bradford C. Brown - On The Horizon: Who's Best To Manage Internet Plumbing?With the bravado of Annie Oakley, Paul Twomey, president of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, flew to Geneva, according to The New York Times, to observe preparations for the World Summit on the Information Society, a U.N. conference on Internet governance. To his chagrin, the United Nations said, "No, you can't," and he was barred from the meeting. "At ICANN, anybody can attend meetings, appeal decisions, or go to the ombudsman," Twomey was quoted in the Times. "And here I am outside a U.N. meeting room where diplomats, most of whom know little about the technical aspects, are deciding in a closed forum how 750 million people should reach the Internet."
