It is my pleasure to announce this years list of appointees to the IAB: Ned Freed, Innosoft Tim Howes, Netscape Steve Bellovin, ATT Brian Carpenter, IBM Jon Crowcroft, UCL John Klensin, MCI Mike StJohns, Chair Nomcom '98 Ned Freed, Innosoft Ned Freed has been active in the IETF since 1990. He has authored or co-authored many RFCs in the application and security areas, including the MIME specification, various SMTP extensions, and the MIME security multiparts specification. He has co-chaired several IETF working groups, among them NOTARY and NNTPEXT. Ned is co-founder, Chief Development Officer, and Chairman of the Board of Innosoft International, Inc., a company specializing in electronic mail and messaging software. Ned graduated with a B.S. in Engineering from Harvey Mudd College. Tim Howes, Netscape Tim Howes received his Ph.D. and M.S.E. degrees in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Michigan. He also holds a B.S.E. in Aerospace Engineering. He co-authored the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) specifications, LDAP Application Program Interface specification, numerous other Internet RFCs and papers, as well as a book on LDAP programming. He led the team of programmers responsible for the first and still widely-used implementation of LDAP, from the University of Michigan, as project director and principal investigator for the National Science Foundation-sponsored WINX grant. He is an active member of the IETF, co-chairing the LDAP Extensions working group, and is former co-chair of the Access and Searching of Internet Directories (ASID) working group and the Integrated Directory Services working group. He is currently Management, Security, and Directory Architect for Netscape Communications Corp. in Mountain View, California. Steve Bellovin, ATT Labs Steven M. Bellovin received a B.A. degree from Columbia University, and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. While a graduate student, he helped create netnews; for this, he and the other perpetrators were award the 1995 Usenix Lifetime Achievement Award. He joined AT&T Bell Laboratories in 1982; given the vagaries of corporate divestitures, he is now at AT&T Labs, where he does research in networks, security, and why the two don't get along. Bellovin is the co-author of the recent book ``Firewalls and Internet Security: Repelling the Wily Hacker''. He has been a member of the IAB since 1996. Brian Carpenter, IBM Brian E. Carpenter is Program Director, Internet Standards and Technology, in the Internet Division of IBM, based at Hursley Park in the UK. Previously he led the networking group at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, in Geneva, Switzerland, from 1985 to 1996. This followed ten years' experience in software for process control systems at CERN, which was interrupted by three years teaching undergraduate computer science at Massey University in New Zealand. He holds a first degree in physics and a Ph.D. in computer science, and is an M.I.E.E. He is the current Chair of the Internet Architecture Board. Jon Crowcroft, UCL Jon Crowcroft is a professor of networked systems in the Department of Computer Science, University College London, where he is responsible for a number of European and US funded research projects in Multi-media Communications. He has been working in these areas for over 17 years. He graduated in Physics from Trinity College, Cambridge University in 1979, and gained his MSc in Computing in 1981, and PhD in 1993. He is a member of the ACM, the British Computer Society and the IEE and a senior member of the IEEE. He is a current member of the IAB and is general chair for the ACM SIGCOMM. He is also on the editorial team for the ACM/IEEE Transactions on Networks. With Mark Handley, is the co-author of WWW:Beneath the Surf (UCL Press); he also authored Open Distributed Systems (UCL Press/Artech House). John Klensin, MCI Dr. John C. Klensin is Distinguished Engineering Fellow in MCI's Internet Architecture Department. His activities there include both product design and evaluation for MCI's Internet offerings, especially for Internet applications, and providing advice and leadership on a wide range of Internet-related policy and strategy issues. In the IETF, he has served as chair, co-chair, or document editor for working groups in electronic mail area and for exploratory BOFs includings ones on mailing list management and unsolicited email. He served two terms as Area Director for Applications and is completing a term on the IAB. His involvement with what is now the Internet began in 1969-70, when he participated in the working group that created the file transfer protocol and made the decision to include electronic mail capability in the network's design.
