A Filipina Is The New ICANN Board Member

The appointment of Filipina ICT pundit and entrepreneur Judith Duavit-Vazquez to the board of the powerful Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) brings many new aspects to the Internet.


In particular, Vasquez’s presence gives a fresh outlook for the organization’s plans to ensure that the Internet will be made available to everyone.


Vasquez will be the first Asian female to become a member of the ICANN Board of Directors, beating 86 other possible candidates for the position. She is also the first Filipino to be conferred the position.


She was officially appointed by the ICANN’s Nominating Committee last Aug. 5 and will officially occupy her seat at the ICANN Annual General Meeting on Oct. 28 in Dakar, Senegal.


Vasquez, who is currently a director for Filipino broadcast company GMA Network, will serve her first term as ICANN Board member from October 2011 to October 2014, a three-year stint that will have her contribute to the decisions that will mark the future of the Global Internet.


Vasquez is considered one of the pioneers in Internet connectivity in the Philippines after establishing the first ICT-ready building, the 45-floor The Peak in Makati City in 1995. She is also credited for having laid the first fiber in Makati’s Central Business District in 1995. It is this infrastructure that was used for the first commercial Internet service by Mozcom, ISP pioneer, and Unionbank, Internet banking forerunner.


In addition, she is the founder of neutral telecommunications provider PHCOLO Inc. and owner of the largest neutral telecommunications tower in the country.

Dragon Boat paddlers welcome to join Canoe-Kayak, but…

POC President Jose "Peping" Cojuangco and PSC Chair Richie Garcia discusses the Philippine Dragon Boat issue on ANC's Hardball.

MANILA, Philippines – Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) President Jose Cojuangco said the Philippine Canoe-Kayak Federation (PCKF) is open to welcome the successful Philippine Dragon Boat paddlers into its fold.
“Walang problema sa paddlers,” said the former Tarlac congressman. “There's no restriction to the paddlers.”
He, however, said in an interview on ANC’s Hardball that the paddlers will likely have to undergo time trials when they join the PCKF.
Cojuangco said that he asked the PCKF to conduct individual time trials for each of its athletes to make sure that every member is fit and can contribute for a sure victory in Olympic events.
“Because sometimes you have a 20-man dragon boat team that's very good. There could be 2 or 3 of them that are not really that good. So you want to put maybe better paddlers [in their place],” he said.
“That's going to be our policy now. It's no longer you won medals before so you automatically join the SEAG,” said Cojuangco.
Cojuangco explained that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommended that the paddler’s mother group, the Philippine Dragon Boat Federation (PDBF), be place under the PCKF.
“I think what they're (IOC) looking at is to put them together because they're doing the same thing, they're rowing they're paddling forward, facing the direction,” said the POC chief.
Cojuangco added that it will be easier to enforce chances in their training regimen if the paddlers and the kayakers are place under one federation.
He said the Dragon Boat team only finished 2nd and 3rd in all events in the 2007 Southeast Asian Games, which is why they should undergo special type of training.
“That's why I've been trying to push for a change in our methods of training because we always lack the stamina. If we can put people together it's much easier,” he said.
“Even now, we're having such a hard time, some people are training here, some people are training there. It's so hard to get them together, even to feed them is most difficult, how do you serve them the right food in different places?” added Cojuangco.
The PDBF is refusing to join the PCKF because members of each federation belong to two different disciplines.
PDBF President Marcia Cristobal also asserted that their group is one of the founding members of the International Dragon Boat Federation (IDBF), the world's governing body for the sport of dragon boat.

THIS IS FUCKIN' LOAD OF CRAP!!! FOR REAL? TIME TRIALS FOR THE 3 TIME DEFENDING CHAMPIONS TO HAVE THEM JOIN YOUR WINLESS GROUP OF KAYAKERS?! PEPING COJUANCO IS FULL OF SHIT!
