I dunno, Chacal. Paris Match ran an article with this picture, saying that a Maine lobster had taken over the show and done away with all the warm water lobsters. This lobster (who was green until he got a sunburn on Japanese beaches) now controls people in the water and eats them if there is too little applause.

...And I'm reminded... Did you this guy get his way or did you manage to stop him?

This is probably a coincidence, but a guy from [huge software company based in Seattle] is vehemently opposing the part of the standard that would make application security controls compatible and interoperable between diferent organisations. If that part was dropped, a software company [for example a huge one] could produce proprietary controls that would only work for you if you shelled out big bucks for that [possibly huge] company's development method.

Ah.. the joys of politics...
In order to go through the 385 comments from the different National Bodies in the limited time available, we had to agree with him that this particular discussion would be pushed over to the next meeting in Cyprus.
This gives us the time to lobby the different NBs for support. Of course this also gives the same time to [huge software company] for its own lobbying.
