[governance] IGC List Roll Call

[George Sadowsky]

Seun,

You are right!

I was a member of the ISOC Board from 1996-2004.  I _am_ currently a member of the ICANN Board, starting in 2009 and ending in 2018.

Thanks for the catch!

George

Very briefly, in the 1950s I was a mathematician; in the 1960s I was involved in social science research computing, income redistribution and poverty elimination programs; in the 1970s and early 1980s I worked for the United Nations doing transfer of computer technology to about 40-40 developing countries, much of it in in Africa and China; in the 1980s and 1990s I directed computing and networking in research universities in the U.S.; in the 1990s I directed ISOCs developing country network training workshops; and in the 2000s I managed Internet policy projects in 15-16 countries in transition, including most of the former Soviet Union.   I participated in both WSIS conferences and was an adviser to the Chair of the IGF/MAG for the first five years of the IGF.   There's more detail at georgesadowsky.org <http://georgesadowsky.org/>.

My interest in civil society issues is high, but I have been substantially turned off by the the absolutist ideology and single issue orientation of many of its members and the non-productive and ugly fights that came to dominate this list.
