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.
