Vint Cerf, from the transcript of yesterday's Opening Ceremony:

I'D LIKE TO REPORT TO YOU THAT THE BOARD HAS RE-ENLISTED OUR PRESIDENT AND CEO PAUL TWOMEY FOR ANOTHER TWO YEARS, PLUS ONE ADDITIONAL, IF THAT'S AGREEABLE TO HIM AND THE BOARD. SO PAUL, FOR REASONS KNOWN ONLY TO HIMSELF AND GOD, HAS AGREED TO SERVE THIS ORGANIZATION FOR ANOTHER THREE YEARS. .....SO PAUL, ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD ESPECIALLY, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THREE YEARS OF VERY HARD WORK AND FOR WHAT WE ARE SURE WILL BE ANOTHER THREE YEARS OF HARD BUT VERY PRODUCTIVE WORK. SO WE THANK YOU PAUL. WE WELCOME YOU TO ANOTHER THREE-YEAR TERM.

Keiren McCarthy has a story in The Register, and ICANNWatch has a post too. (Pictured: Paul Twomey, Verisign's Leslie Daigle, and Evil Mastermind of Doom Bert plot out their nefarious plans for the next three years.)
