    From Sunday Times in Sri Lanka:
    Sri Lanka’s Information and Communication Technology Agency (ICTA) Managing Director and CEO Muhunthan Canagey resigned from his position on Friday (August 11) in a controversy over ‘telecom spectrum’ and other issues.
    I haven't read about The Industry Council for Tangible Assets having a CoB resign, but not saying they haven't.

    Actually, the name of the Ex-Chairman of ICTA is Philip Diehl.

    I2....So both ICTA's had their CoB's resign? Weird.

    Not interesting at all.
    I just got off the phone with Hon. Jimmy Hayes, ICTA's lobbyist for a decade or two and master type collector of the 80's.
    All members of the ICTA board are volunteers, none of them handle money and nobody grabbed any punnani
    I believe the retired Congressman, now a decades-long Joe Levine auction devotee, may have phrased it a bit more elegantly

    Wow, thanks Capt. I looked at the google date of the story and its tomorrow(across the dateline), so I didn't notice the Friday(August 11) date. Oops. My bad.
