Technical leadership role in many technologies and protocols. For six years, I had a direction-setting role in SIP, RTP and Secure RTP, ENUM, PWE3, IP Storage, and new transports such as DCCP and FLUTE. The Area Director role also requires approving all documents before the IETF, which resulted in a very broad Internet perspective. The position includes significant management and organizational duties, and it led to surprising amounts of experience in intellectual property issues, organization design, outreach, and inter-organization and international relations.

Additional Biography -------------------- I started my working life in CS in the Internet in 1986, first developing a Berkeley Unix TCP implementation with mechanisms for interoperability testing, and next an instrumented Unix IP router. I worked on the mid-1980's efforts to stop TCP congestion collapse, and in 1990, I was invited to become an experimenter member of the DARTnet testbed. In DARTnet, I made the original suggestion for the MBONE, the several-thousand-node overlay network used among other things to prove that packet voice and video could be standard internet applications. My range of research projects has been somewhat broad: open source, open national footprint testbed (CAIRN), IPv6 frontiers (the TRAIL testbed in CAIRN and the Microsoft Research IPv6 stack), envelope-pushing multmedia (NMAA), routing infrastructure security (FNIISC) and domain name system security (FMESHD). Subsequent to the FNIISC and FMESHD, I've continued work on domain name security, and also have developed work on privacy in location, registration and signaling. The unifying thread in these projects has been to advance the power available in the Internet. Current projects include highly extensible, secure TCP. The breadth of my research projects over the years messhed well with my interests in the IETF over many years. My IETF energies right now are decreased due to my current position, which is even more positive for a person who likes to range among fields. My NSF program, Future Internet Design, strongly encourages crosscutting research. A great deal of information is available at http://www.nets-find.net. Away from work, my interests include reading extensively (fiction, drama, animal behavior, cognitive and other science, linguistics), swimming, travel, and being trained by kids and dog.
