Re: [gnso-idn-wg] Statement of Interest

[Steve Crocker <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am the liaison from ICANN's Security and Stability Advisory  
Committee (SSAC).  (I am also the chair of SSAC and SSAC's liaison to  
the ICANN board.)

I am a long-time Internet technologist.  I have math and computer  
science background.  In the early days of the Arpanet, 1969-1971, I  
helped put the first node on the Internet and created the RFCs and  
run the original Network Working Group, the forerunner of the IETF.

I've got a modest background in linguistics and I am keen to seen  
IDNs flourish in the Internet.  At the same time, I am also focused  
on maintaining the coherence of the net, i.e. that users see the same  
thing no matter where they come from.
