ISPA elects new mancom
The new management committee (mancom) for the Internet Service Providers' Association of South Africa (ISPA) for the next year consists of joint chairs Lynne Orrock (MTN NS) and Edwin Thompson (Verizon) while committee members include Marc Furman (Internet Solutions), Richard Heath (MWeb), Rob Hunter (Neotel), William Stucke (ZANet) and Jenny King (e-Schools' Network). Co-opted ex offico members are Dave Gale (Storm Telecom), Ant Brooks (Future Foundation) and Elaine Zinn (Future Foundation). According to Orrock, "ISPA members owe a great deal to outgoing joint chair Greg Massel, in particular, who has served ISPA for many years and who will no doubt continue to provide valuable counsel through his rational and measured approach."
