Re: [dssa] "introductions" thread

[asare-sakyi george <ga_sakyi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

I am a Telecom engineer and enjoy working as a project Manger. Currently I run 
my own company. The nature of my work entails the planning and execution of 
projects and wishes to say I have a very good understanding of project 
management and this complements my skills in entrepreneurship. Apart from my 
engineering firm, I have almost completed the construction of a platform for 
the 
sale of LIQUIDFIED PETROLEUM GAS (LPG) and hope to add other services to the 
platform in future.
I am a member of the following institutions.
·         Ghana Institution of engineers and represent the institution on the 
National Technical committee at the Ghana Standard Board.
·         Member of the Internet society of Ghana and holds the position of 
assistant project Manager.
·         Member of GNSO.
My first ICANN meeting was in Seoul Korea in 2009. I will not be in Singapore 
but will surely be in Dakar Senegal. I was in Texas last week and brought my 
magic jack with my magic number with me so you could reach me on 9792007259 
from 
the US only when I am on the net. Leave a message and   I will return your call.

Subject: [dssa] "introductions" thread


hi all,

as promised a minute ago, here's a little post to kick off our 
personal-introductions thread.  there are a couple of goals here;

-- get to know each other a bit better.  this is a very cross-functional group 
so it is pretty unlikely that we all know each other.

-- find out what skills and interests we each bring.  there is a lot of work to 
do and this will help us get it done.

a few reminders.  brief posts are good.  clear language is good.

here's mine:

you can read my bio here -- http://www.haven2.com/index.php/bio -- here's the 
first paragraph…  


"I'm a community organizer, entrepreneur and tech-geek turned business-leader 
type person. I became moderately famous here in Minnesota (USA) as one of the 
people who popularized the Internet back in the mid-90’s. These days I divide 
my 
pretty-retired time between being a domain-investor (I've still got about a 
half-dozen great domain names to figure out), volunteering on a variety of 
local 
and regional broadband policy bodies, participating in various working groups 
at 
ICANN, restoring 420 acres of Wisconsin farmland to the state it was in prior 
to 
agriculture (www.APrairieHaven.com), helping out at a variety of local 
non-profits and learning the craft of furniture making"

so i'm a happily-retired geek.  

my interest in DSSA is non-technical.  i have been responsible for online 
security in a variety of ways 


-- i was the administrative CIO of the University of Minnesota 
-- i helped develop a security strategy and program for a 50-campus university 
system at "the other" university system in Minnesota, MnSCU.
-- i owned an ISP
-- i'm working on broadband security and stability issues at the state level 
here in Minnesota

i'm pretty good at small to mid scale project management 

i'm pretty good at negotiation and finding consensus views

i'm REALLY good at playing blues and rock n'roll keyboards.  :-)

how about you?

mikey
