Biography

I have been been working in the field of Internet Governance and ICT4D for the last decade. I'm heavily involved in critical resources policy fora in Africa and globally. I have a unique perspective in that I have worked for dot-coms, African ISPs, UNDP, ISOC and a Regional Internet Registry. Currently I work for a public benefit Internet infrastructure organisation which maintains a variety of software that is central to Internet operations. ISC is also a root server operator.

I straddle the stakeholder groups, but most closely identify with Civil Society. I have been active in the CS Internet Governance Caucus for the last 7 years, and was a World Summit On the Information Society Ambassador for the Internet Society in 2005.
