IAB MEMBERS

Born the year Sweden took the soccer gold medal in the Olympics, 10 years when we got the silver medal in the World Championships. A couple of years later it was bronze in the WC in the US. Realizing the Swedish soccer was on a slope needed something else to do. Internetworking seemed the right thing to do.

With the starting point in telecommunication took some early discussions (remember the Bell head vs. net head wars) on the general directions to take networking. Worked with routing and traffic engineering issues, and quite naturally slipped into the MPLS work and bee a regular IETF attendant since 1995. Missed the meeting in Stockholm though.

Gonzalo Camarillo is the head of the Multimedia Research Laboratory in Ericsson Finland. He is the IETF liaison manager to 3GPP and currently co-chairs the SIPPING and HIP working groups. His research interests include signaling, multimedia applications, transport protocols, and networking architectures. He has authored a number of RFCs, books, and papers on these areas. Gonzalo received M.Sc. degrees in electrical engineering from the Stockholm (Sweden) Royal Institute of Technology and from Universidad Politecnica de Madrid (Spain). He is originally from Spain.

Stuart Cheshire is currently 'Wizard without Portfolio' at Apple. Stuart leads Apple's networking development work on a broad range of Apple's products, from OS and application software that runs on desktop and laptop Macs, to hardware products like AirPort wireless base stations, iPhone, AirPort Express (for streaming music to your home music system) and Apple TV (for streaming video to your television). This includes Zero Configuration Networking, which Apple promotes under the name 'Bonjour'.

Stuart was co-chairman of the IETF Zero Configuration (Zeroconf) Working Group, has written Standards-Track RFCs, research papers, and US and international patents, and is the author the O'Reilly book 'Zero Configuration Networking'.

Stuart Cheshire received B.A. and M.A. degrees from Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, and M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from Stanford University.

Russ Housley has worked in the computer and network security field since 1982, and he founded Vigil Security, LLC in September 2002. Russ began serving as the IETF Chair in March 2007. His security research and standards interests include security protocols, certificate management, cryptographic key distribution, and high assurance design and development practices. Prior to accepting the IETF Chair position, Russ served as the Security Area Director, and prior to that he chaired the Secure MIME (S/MIME) Working Group. Russ was editor for several cornerstone Internet PKI standards (including RFC 3280). In November 2004, Russ was recognized by the IEEE 802.11 working group for his contributions to IEEE 802.11i-2004, which fixes the severe security shortcoming of the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). Russ received his B.S. in computer science from Virginia Tech in 1982, and he received his M.S. in computer science from George Mason University in 1992.

Olaf Kolkman was born and raised in the Netherlands. He was trained as an astronomer but his interest in Internet technology took hold of his career path around 1996. He joined the RIPE NCC around 1997 where he got involved in the test-traffic project. That project brought him in contact with the IETF and he attended his first meeting in Munich.

After acting as operations manager for a while he became systems architect, responsible for DNSSEC deployment at the NCC, in 2000.

From that time on he has been active in the DNS community for instance as co-chair of the DNSEXT working group. In 2005 he joined NLnet Labs, a R&D foundation, as chief executive. He is an IAB member since March 2006.

Gregory Lebovitz has been focused on security topics, and especially how state-keeping security mechanisms (like Firewalls, proxies, tunnelers, IPS systems, etc.) fit effectively into the stateless, dynamically routed/forwarded networks around them. His IETF work, starting in 1999, has included later stages of IKEv1/IPsec definition, implementation, and interop; IKEv2 definition, implementation and interop; chairing and authoring in the PKI4IPsec WG, and the various efforts on securing routing protocols.

Lebovitz currently works for Juniper networks, via acquisition of NetScreen Technologies, where he started in 1998. He now leads new technology initiatives for the Service Layer Technology (SLT) division, focused mostly on security products and enterprise routing/switching platforms. He built and led Juniper's Solutions Engineering organization. His projects have included the creation of the NetScreen Redundancy Protocol (NSRP), the integration of dynamic routing to IPsec-VPNs, Multicast Security, IPv6 security, PKI, NetScreen's Secure Rapid Deployment (NSRD), and more recently VoIP security. He has driven, or served as technical advisor, on the acquisition of 4 companies in the Remote Access, VoIP and WAN optimization spaces.

Barry Leiba has worked on electronic mail and related projects since 1980, and on Internet email since around 1990. He's a Senior Technical Staff Member at IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center, in Hawthorne, New York, and currently divides his time among anti-spam work, Internet standards work related to messaging and email, and "pervasive computing" technology, using the ubiquity of computers and availability of information to provide richer services for people. Before joining the personal computing world, Barry worked on one of IBM's mainframe operating systems, VM/370 (and then VM/XA).
