Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
"Paul Twomey has made an extraordinary contribution to ICANN" said Peter Dengate Thrush, ICANN board chairman. "He was involved in its set up, helped establish the role of governments in his term as founding chair of the GAC, and then was its longest serving CEO.
"He guided the organization through the World Summit on the Information Society in 2005 and has been one of the strongest and most persuasive advocates for the multi-stakeholder model of Internet governance."
Vint Cerf, who previously served as board chairman for eight years said "I can think of no other person who has had more influence on the course of ICANN's evolution than Paul.
"We owe him a great debt for long and faithful service and I owe him personal thanks for his counsel during my time on the Board.
"The Board will be challenged to find a worthy and capable successor."
And Lynn St Amour, the CEO of the Internet Society said "During his tenure, ICANN has become a stronger organization and, as a key element of the Internet ecosystem, has ensured the security and stability of the Domain Name System.
"The Internet Society extends its appreciation to Dr Twomey for his service and dedication to ICANN and its communities.
"We look forward to working with him on major issues over the remainder of this year."
