<br>
I am on the ARIN Advisory Council and thus play a role in the numbers world, but other than urging the NRO to work through a global committee rather than regional ones, I have not followed or participated in the numbers (CRISP) work either at the regional or global level.<br>
<br>
I hold Executive Committee position within the GNSO Noncommercial Stakeholders Group and am an active participant in the names CWG.<br>
<br>
I followed the IANAPlan IETF fairly actively but on the whole was a marginal(ized) participant.<br>
<br>
Using Patrik's useful template, I am:<br>
<span><br>
- Outsider for the numbers work<br>
</span> - Insider for the names work<br>
- Follower of and commentator on the protocols work<br>
