In my current position at France Telecom, I am in charge of advanced Internet projects, ranging from high speed networking to electronic commerce. I contributed very early to the objective of a stable, comprehensive and transparent framework for the technical management of Internet, based on a consensus of all stakeholders and consistent with the international scope of the network. I took part in the meetings held in Geneva , Barcelona, Washington and Monterrey, and in the work of the European Commission Panel of Participants. The rapid development of permanent IP connections, future home appliances and networks, the expansion of electronic commerce, the new generation mobile networks are key factors that will put strong pressure on the network architecture and especially on the name and address system. I will encourage an active participation in the debate of the membership through its self-organization.
More work still needs to be done.
I think my background could help me contribute to that goal.
