Recent Leadership and Service ----------------------------- Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG), Area Director, Transport Area, 2000-2006, also 1993-1997. Technical leadership role in many technologies and protocols. For six years, I had a direction-setting role in the standards for VOIP, multimedia, IP Storage and other areas. The Area Director also serves on a board that approves all documents before the IETF, resulting in a very broad Internet perspective. In my first IESG tour, I was co-Director of the process that designed IPv6 and steered the technical design of the protocol. One more point is that, the IESG role included tasks beyond the purely technical and these AD years included a fair amount of time on intellectual property issues and relationships with other groups including 3GPP, ATIS and the ITU.
