I agree with Milton's assessment here. Paul is the head of APNIC.
I don't think that is a CS organization. Then again, I understand that
Karen and possibly other APC/CS groups have a good working relationship
with Paul and he would understand the situation of the CS groups. I
haven't worked with him in any capacity so I have no insight into his
views.

I agree with Milton's assessment here too. I don't think Pindar
Wong would be a good CS rep in the WGIG. He represents businesses
interests, not non-comm interests.
