[RSS GWG] A little about me

[Luis Diego Espinoza]

Dear Fred,
Wonderful to know little bit of your vast experience in this area. I’m glad you decided to nominated for chair of this WG.

Just one doubt, Is there a conflict of interest of any other kind of conflict while you are chair of RSSAC and if get elected chair of this WG? 

Thanks,

Luis Espinoza

A number of speakers spoke, many of them without prepared slides, and when the day was finished Dan Lynch asked whether we wanted to do it again. We did, and met again a few months later under the name "InterOp". Dan eventually sold the workshop to Network World, which folded it into its show. It then rebranded itself in 1994 as "Network World plus Interop". There is some broken history on the web about that; Lenny Heymann, current vice president and general manager of the InterOp show at Network World, reportedly thinks we met to plug equipment together. Heck, TCP didn't even work then, and a big part of what we did was figure out how to make TCP/IP work. Equipment came later, in 1988.

Since 1989, I have written and published about 60 RFCs, chaired a number of IETF working groups, and chaired the IETF itself.

I currently chair the RSSAC, until the end of the year, and then am term limited. I plan to continue on the RSSAC as a representative from ISC.
