David Goldstein

David has been involved in a range of internet governance issues over the
last 13 years dealing with domain names, child protection and filtering
issues and working with government and non-government organisations. Today
David compiles an online media clipping service dealing with internet
governance issues with clients including ICANN, auDA, Denic, InternetNZ,

writing and analysis along with a good knowledge of internet governance
issues.

 

Ian Peter

 

Ian Peter moved from a career in media and in the origins of community radio
in Australia to setting up a global rainforest activist network in the early
1980s. An early adopter of pre-Internet global computer networks, he became
involved in both UN and Internet initiatives in 1985, when he was
commissioned by United Nations Environment Program to establish an Asian on
line network of non-government organizations.  In 1989 he established
Pegasus Networks offering access to email and Internet services, with a
focus on NGO communications. It grew to employ over 30 people. In the same
year he was a founding director of the Association for Progressive
Communications (www.apc.org <http://www.apc.org/> ).

 

By 1992, just before most people began to experience the World Wide Web, Ian
Peter established a consultancy business to address growing interest in
Internet and new technologies. As Principal Consultant and Project Manager
he undertook assignments advising government, industry and international
organizations, including both UN and internet governance organisations.
During the 1990s Ian Peter established an award winning Internet History
portal at www.nethistory.info <http://www.nethistory.info/> . He first
became involved in Internet governance discussions in the lead up to the
UN's World Summit on the Information Society (www.wsis.org
<http://www.wsis.org/> ) and has been involved with the Internet Governance
Caucus ever since. He has held a number of honorary positions including as a
member of the inaugural .ORG Advisory Council and on the Editorial Board of
First Monday (www.firstmonday.org).
