Nominee Statement

My main interest is to make the Internet a good place to live by interconnecting networks and people. The internet per se was built to make things work first, not making them safe and robust. Meanwhile, the internet is too important to ignore security. The most obvious place to start is routing as every piece of information has to be carried via an IP packet along paths governed by the routing system.

Being at the end of my career, I’m able and would love to dedicate a big chunk of my time to community work. I’m bringing 30+ years of experience from an ISP as well as from IXP operator pov.

Nough said, let’s get work done!
