Are you kidding? Your being too kind. I was on the horn with our
industry people and while we were talking a little bird wispered to me on
the subject of bob shaw, sola and the industry canada reps. Shaw was
plugged, he was rude, he was crude, he was lude. The man is a drunk. He
grossed them out in Berlin. I'm bring this conduct to the attention of
his boss when I get around to the next stage in Mr. shaws continued
education with PCCF.
I'm astounded that the ITU would appoint such a joke to such an important
position. We all shaw the articles that the ITU wants a hand in internet
governance. Well .. if Mr Shaw is an example of the ITU confidence in the
process, then I think it's time to start converting them over to the PTT
Museam. Good god, shaw was their lan administrator, how in the hell does
an ignorent techi end up in such a post making internation policy.
The ITU need to upgrade it's image - badly. Have a drink Bob - 1999 was a
long year - and 2000 is going to be a bummer.
