[Riaz K Tayob]

Optimism of the will (sure some global cooperation may be useful and 
help), pessimism of the intellect (the rentier class will massage their 
revolving door public bureaucrats to get what they want and how they 
want it)... the previous ITU head seemed to me to be a little more open 
to governance issues than seems to be presently... but that is just an 
impression loosely formed
