[Ian Peter]

Here is the third candidate statement from Sivasubramanian Muthusamy.   


Sivasubramanian <http://www.linkedin.com/in/sivasubramanianmuthusamy>
Muthusamy immensely values the fundamental principles of the Internet. His
interest in the growth and evolution of the Internet stems from an innate
desire to contribute very significantly to the world at large on a macro
level. It began in 1991 when he was one of the four delegates from India to
the International Model United Nations organized by the Junior Chambers
International and held at the UN General Assembly Hall in New York where he
introduced a spiritedly debated draft resolution to strengthen the United

early papers on the Internet Architecture issues sent as a mail to W3C
proposed "Costume

Model" for "Reconciling Society's Concerns for Privacy with the imperative
of Authentication" - an idea that he now considers
<http://wealthyworld.blogspot.com/2008/07/i-uploaded-this-video-at-you-tube-
booth.html>  imperfect. 

 His interest in "universal prosperity" remained latent as his career path
occupied him in business as an entrepreneur, but he became involved in the
Internet after he became a member of the Internet Society. He started the
ISOC India Chennai <http://isocmadras.blogspot.com/>  chapter which was
chartered in June 2007, the chapter became an at-Large structure as well. 

 He has taken part in the OECD Ministerial Meeting on the Future of Internet
Economy at Seoul, Korea, and took part at the APNIC 24 and SANOG events in
New Delhi and more recently at the Internet Governance Forum at Hyderabad.
As a person who believes in a well balanced
<http://intgovforum.org/forum/index.php?topic=446.0>  system of Governance
in its minimal form
<http://isocmadras.blogspot.com/2008/09/one-web-day.html> ,  he became
involved in the Internet Governance Caucus to contribute to the Civil
Society's role in the evolution and governance of the Internet.

As a member of the Civil Society he believes that in essence the Civil
Society is in agreement within on most issues, and that differences tend to
arise largely in expression and interpretation. He also believes that this
unity of purpose is true in the larger arena where all stakeholders, with
the exception of a few interests,  are in agreement that the Internet is
valuable, that it needs to evolve further as a free and open medium. He
believes that there would be greater agreement among stakeholders with
greater receptiveness to the concerns of one another. He believes that there
can be a solution acceptable to all stakeholders who have conflicting
interests. He is working on concepts that would further the Internet Model
as the world moves towards the next billions of Internet Users and a richer
Internet. 

His focus is on contributing to the policy sphere, and with this purpose he
is learning more and more about the Internet issues so as to constantly
correct himself and to gain a clear and fair perspective on all issues. He
has taken part in a Diplo Foundation's Internet Governance Capacity Building
program and wishes to advance further on this learning path with a view to
gain an in-depth of knowledge on Internet issues and to take part in the
Internet Governance process with the right understanding. . 

 He has taken part in the Rotary Group Study Exchange program to Argentina
and Paraguay in 1994 and earlier in a short term exchange program to
Germany. He has traveled widely in India and have traveled to Argentina,
Brazil, Trinidad & Tobago, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Kenya and Tanzania,
visited the United States, Canada, Germany, United Kingdom, Nederland,
France, Switzerland, Italy, Nepal, Singapore, Bangkok, Sri Lanka, Taiwan and
Korea. 

He took the initiative to form the India Chennai chapter of the Internet
Society. He serves as the President of
<http://www.isocmadras.blogspot.com/> ISOC India Chennai which is recently
approved as an at-Large structure. He also serves as the at-Large Advisory
Committee's (ALAC) IDN liaison. Within ISOC <http://www.isoc.org/> , apart
from his attention to local programs and events, he takes part in one or two
of ISOC's  global task groups.   He is associated with One Web Day and has
volunteered to handle the Stories <http://www.onewebday.org/stories>  task. 

 He is a graduate in Business (MBA) from India with 19 years of cross
functional business experience, now giving shape to Turiya, a Start Up with
some limitations in its pre-funding stage, to make Desktop, Mobile PCs and
Mobile Internet Devices around an UNIX operating system. He is a Strategic
planner with vivid conceptual traits, comfortable with technology,
especially on a macro scale. He is an effective communicator & team leader
combined with the ability to interact effectively with people of diverse
nationalities worldwide.
