He is a Senior Software Engineer for Cisco. Fred Baker has worked in the telecommunications industry since 1978, building statistical multiplexors, terminal servers, bridges, and routers. At Cisco Systems, his primary interest area is the management of congestion for best effort and real time traffic. In addition to product development, as a Cisco Fellow, he advises senior management of industry directions and appropriate corporate strategies. His principal standards contributions have been to the IETF, but he has contributed to ITU's H.323, and to such industry consortia as WINSOCK II and the ATM Forum. In the IETF, he has contributed to Network Management, Routing, PPP and Frame Relay, the Integrated Services architecture, and the RSVP signaling protocol. Jeff Schiller, MIT Jeff is the current AD of the Security Area and has served in that position for the last 4 years. He is the manager of Systems and Operations for MIT's network system. Jeff is an internationally known security expert having gotten his start at MIT with such projects as Multics and Kerberos. Over the years he has been involved in various privacy and security activities including the early PGP efforts. He was one of the early members and contributors to the IETF. He regularly teaches network security at the Interop conferences. He was also a founding member of NearNet. Marcus Leech, NT Marcus Leech has been a Security Architect at Nortel for the past seven years. He has been involved with the IETF for the past 2 years working on applications based security as well as the related public key architectures. He is the chair of the Authenticated Firewall Traversal working group, and the author/editor of 2 RFCs on SOCKS. He was a contributor at the recent IAB workshop on security. Rob Coltun, Fore Rob is employed by Fore working on ATM related switching and routing. Rob has been involved with the IETF since its early days, first as a staff member at MITRE supporting the Defense Data Network, later at UMaryland, Rainbow Bridge and Fore. Over the years he has been involved in implementing and testing various routing protocols including one of the first Unix OSPF implementations. He substitute chairs the OSPF working group. He has implemented versions of RIP v1 & v2, IGMP v1, IDRP, BGP (with RPSL policy), and MOSPF and has architected PNNI, DVMRP and PIM-SM implementations. He is the co-author of the OSPF over IPv6 drafts, and has authored the OSPF MIB and OSPF NSA RFCs and has authored other drafts related to routing and switching April Marine, CSC/NASA April Marine is currently the lead for the NASA Network Information Center, part of the NASA Integrated Services Network (NISN). The NASA NIC concentrates on information infrastructure issues and collaborates to improve the user's interface to NASA's online information. She is also manager of the GLOBE Help Desk, a first-level user support service that serves teachers involved in the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Program, an international "K-12" environmental studies program that relies heavily on the Internet. She has worked for Sterling Software at NASA Ames Research Center for the past five years; previously she worked for several years at the SRI Network Information Center. She is the co-author of several RFCs dealing with a variety of topics relevant to network users and user support organizations. Vern Paxson, LBL Vern Paxson is a staff scientist with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's Network Research Group. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of California, Berkeley. His research primarily concerns Internet measurement, and has given talks and taught tutorials at SIGCOMM, NANOG, IETF and other meetings. He also does research on building network intrusion detection systems. He co-chairs IETF working groups on IP Performance Metrics and TCP Implementation, and is a member of the IETF Transport Area directorate. He's been the recipient of awards for SIGCOMM and USENIX papers; a co-recipient of two USENIX lifetime achievement awards, for contributions to BSD Unix and the Software Tools project; and won best-of-show in the 1992 International Obfuscated C Code Contest. Keith Moore, UTenn Keith Moore has been active in IETF since early 1991. He is currently Co-AD for Applications. He has been active in several working groups dealing with electronic mail and the world wide web. He has authored or co-authored several RFCs, including portions of MIME, SMTP extensions, and delivery status notifications. He served as chair of the DRUMS working group. He is currently employed as a Research Associate at the University of Tennessee, where his work focuses on improving accessibility of Internet information resources through replication and name resolution; and in general on scalable distributed systems. Mike O'Dell, UUNET Mike is currently the Co-AD for the O&M Area and has held that position for 2 years. Mike is a Vice President at UUNET, a major ISP. Prior to joining UUNET Technologies, Mr. O'Dell was a Senior Member of Technical Staff at Bellcore (Morristown, NJ) where he worked on distributed systems, a major OSS re-engineering effort, and served as chief engineer for an "RBOC of the Future" project. Before Bellcore, he was Chief Computer Scientist and Director of Operating Systems Development for Prisma Computers. While at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory where he was "ARPAnet IMP Liaison" for LBL's ARPAnet connection, he built his first TCP/IP network circa 1982 . He was a contributor to very early Berkeley UNIX network implementations and installed the first local area network at LBL using prototype MIT/Proteon token-ring hardware. His research studies of real-world behavior of that network produced an award-winning paper presented at the IEEE Network Symposium. Mr. O'Dell received his BS and MS degrees in Computer Science from the University of Oklahoma in 1976 and 1980, respectively. Jeff Burgan, @Home Network Jeff is currently the Co-AD for the Internet Area and has held that position for 2 years. He manages the Backbone Engineering Group at @Home Network where he's responsible for the overall design and architecture for the backbone network. Previous jobs include Bay Networks for nearly two years where he formed and managed the software engineering group responsible for the software base specific to ISP use of Bay equipment, and six years at the NASA Ames Research Center where he was responsible for the management of the NASA Science Internet network. He has been an active member of the IETF since 1989 working in the areas of routing protocols and network operations. Jeff graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Maryland.
