Jakarta, Indonesia, June 1, 2007

The Internet Names Authorization & Information Center (INAIC) Council Advisory Committee announced today the appointment of Rhio Hartawan to the INAIC Council.

Mr. Hartawan has accepted the invitation to become a member of the INAIC Council. Rhio Hartawan graduated from the Indonesian Naval Academy in 1991 and became a naval aviator and test pilot who commanded fighter squadrons in many rescue operations, such as the rescue operation during the Tsunami flooding in Aceh – Sumatra in December 2004. During this mission he became a hero among heroes, demonstrating superior qualities of leadership, physical strength, and mental acumen.

Rhio resumed his distinguished naval career, rising swiftly through the ranks, and being named to such prestigious positions as Commander of the Ambon Fleet, Superintendent of the Naval Academy, and Chief of Naval Personnel. Rhio credits much of his ability to easily adapt to new situations to his strong family ties, his youth in Jakarta, his experiences at the Indonesian Naval Academy (where he served as brigade commander and mastered five different computer programming languages), and to the love and support of his wife Tiar.

Diversity is one of the key features of the INAIC Council. Therefore Mr. Hartawan will be an excellent addition to the Council.
