Allison Mankin is a Program Director at the U.S. National Science
Foundation in the Divison of Computer and Network Systems.  Collaborating
with Darleen Fisher and Dave Clark (MIT), she is the Program Director for the
Future Internet Design (FIND) research program (www.nets-find.net) as
well as other areas in NeTS.  In 2006-2007 she supported CISE in 
establishing the Project Office for GENI and the GENI Science
Council (www.geni.net).  Prior to NSF, she worked on efforts on
large scale infrastructure security and transition, especially
on DNS security.  She has been a longtime leader of the Internet
Engineering Task Force in many capacities.  Most recently she led the 
Geolocation Privacy (geopriv) working group.  She was an Area Director 
(AD) in the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) for a total of ten 
years (stepping down most recently in 2006).  As Transport AD from 
2000-2006, she managed the emergence of the IETF as a leader in VOIP
and multimedia.  In her first appointment to the steering group she
was also selected to co-lead the IETF's design of the next generation
of IP, IPv6.  She founded and led the IETF's Process and Tools team,
and currently serves on several steering group directorates.
Her work history began with work on one of the first non-Bell
telephony databases (800) in 1985, then a Unix-based TCP tester for
DISA in 1986.  Following that she began a research career on topics
including congestion control, scalable video, robust networks, and national
scale testbeds.  She was one of the inventors of the mbone, which spun
spun off the general use of tunnels in a coordinated action to grow
technologies.  At MITRE, Naval Research Labs, USC/ISI and Bell Labs, she was
the PI of research funded by DISA, DARPA, NSF, Microsoft and Sprint. Prior
to joining NSF in a government position, she served as a charter member of both
Internet2's network technical advisory committee and ICANN's security and stability
advisory committee. Details/ publications: http://www.psg.com/~mankin/vita.txt
