Appointed as IRTF Chair
I am delighted that I have been appointed as the next Chair of the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) by the Internet Architecture Board (IAB).
I have been involved in the IRTF for many years. It is a unique organization that conducts research of importance to the evolution of the Internet protocols, applications, architecture and technology. It has initiated and supported many important technology developments for the Internet in the past, in fields such as network architecture, security and privacy, congestion control, and many more.
The IRTF focuses on longer term research issues, and its various research groups are enabling international collaboration for continuous research on critical topics for the Internet by working with academic and industry research communities.
My term starts in March 2025. I am sincerely grateful for all the support I have received, I am looking forward to working with this community to help making the Internet work better through good research work.
