policy and IPv6. Dave also participates actively at RIPE Meetings,
having been chair of the RIPE netnews-wg, and in the pan-european
research network GÉANT2 (having presented at Terena about the possible

Dave Wilson combines many years of experience with a sense of
genuine interest and commitment to the Internet and its successful

are attested to by all his colleagues. In addition, Dave's integrity
and sense of values are deeply held and widely respected, and have
generated a level of trust in him and, by extension, in the company

him to the RIPE community for election to the NRO.
