I think you've misunderstood Mr. Twomey, Jay. What he means is that
he (that is, the GAC) will take control of address allocation. Mr.
Twomey sees himself as the head of world government. This would be
nothing more than a joke in poor taste, if it weren't for watching
helpless while an ISOC-appointed board proceeds to take control of
domain names and name servers. Mr. Twomey is dangerous. He and his
kin will be put down eventually, like all dictators are put down,
but how much damage will he have done by then?
