I guess there is poetic justice that having at one point (when IP packets were still conveyed by pterodactyls) been the largest provider of anonymity on the net (some of you might remember me as julf@anon.penet.fi), I have now managed to achieve anonymity among the younger generation of the RIPE community.
where you active at RIPE in the earlier days ? and if so where? <snip>
On the downside, I have spent far too much of my life in the corporate world - after having been part of putting together the first pan-European ISP, I ended up as CTO and EVP of the ill-fated carrier and IP services operator KPNQwest. Having realized I am not very compatible with corporate structure and hierarchy, I have since been involved with smaller technology companies. I spent a number of years as the chairman of the board of IoT device manufacturer Viola Systems (now part of ABB), and having been a board member for a long time, I just got appointed chairman of the board for IoT services provider BaseN.
I am currently the Nomcom appointee in the Non-Contracted Parties House of the ICANN GNSO Council. <snip> As to my view of the role of a co-chair for this WG, I think RIPE-542, as posted by Hans Petter, sums it up pretty well. Will try to participate in the discussion and answer any questions, but will be on the road with sporadic connectivity until Monday evening.
so you're also active elsewhere in the Internet community, that's great! And with that said, think you'll be an excellent co-chair with Meredith and preferable one more :-) -- Roger Jorgensen | ROJO9-RIPE rogerj@gmail.com | - IPv6 is The Key! http://www.jorgensen.no | roger@jorgensen.no
