I think there is blurring between editorial opinion and actual quotations.

I am going to defend Paul Twomey here.

He would simply never speak ill of the domain marketplace or make statements like are present in this article.

I have discussed this news report with Paul Twomey and he has asked me to clarity that the Gulf News article incorrectly suggests that he has concerns with domainers.

As he said to me: “When asked to look ahead at what might happen on the Internet, I did say it was likely domainers would move increasingly into the ccTLD space. In no way did I say or suggest that domainers were a negative force in any way and certainly did not refer to them as “a downside.” The many domainers I have met and chatted with at meetings across the globe will know I would never say such a thing.

As I noted in my closing remarks at the Dubai meeting, the marketplace has evolved and domainers are a part of the robust domain name market that exists today.”

I am shocked by Twomey’s words.
If now we also need to educate ICANN!?

This is why we must be united to defend our industry.
