Fwd: [Internet Policy] Announcing the Internet Society=?UTF-8?Q?=E2=80=99s_?=new President & CEO

[Kathy Kleiman]

Hi All,

I think Andrew Sullivan is a wonderful choice to head ISOC. He hails 
from a technical background -- working for Dyn, later purchased by 
Oracle, and heading the Internet Architecture Board. He cares deeply 
about the Internet infrastructure and the policies that keep it 
functioning and independent.

Further, he knows our world, and was an active member of the RDS Working 
Group -- and an eloquent voice for understanding the technology as we 
tried to balance privacy and access to personal data in the WHOIS.

A good choice!

Best, Kathy
