If you look at the PSO it has four members - IETF, ITU, ETSI and W3C. Four 
already well organised and formed bodies which has been working for years. 
I guess (but it is only a guess and I might be wrong, I will seek 
information during the day and be back to you) is that they have chosen 1 
person from each organisation and that one was left behind. My guess is 
that Vint Cerf represents IETF and the other two ETSI and ITU.  PSO has 
then taken into account something else - representation of organisations 
and another kind of who-represents-my-interests.

ETSI is a European body. ITU is a worlwide body and if they feel that a 
european represent the ITU best - well.......
