Twomey and Magaziner have been involved in a consulting company for 
many years -- ArgoPacific. Magaziner  lead e-commerce policy for the 
US, Twomey the same for AU govt.  So... "Argo P at cific is a high level 
international consulting firm specialising in the Internet and 
digital economy sectors" (cute use of @ mark...)

Australian registered.  Known about, no secret. It was Twomey's 
employer when he left the Australian govt (some might remember he 
stayed on as GAC chair as a kind of honorary Ambassador even thou 
private sector.)

ICANN has been clear about the "surplus" in it's budget.  It's trying 
to build a half-year operational reserve.  Seems a good idea to me.
