'''Introduction''' Introduction
'''Thomas Roessler''' is a mathematician by formal education, and a geek with an interest in the net's technology and its interaction with society by passion. Thomas started out around [[ICANN]] as a frequent poster to certain mailing lists.<ref>[http://log.does-not-exist.org/ No such weblog]</ref> He ended up as the [[DNSO]] General Assembly's last chair, a veteran of the [[WHOIS]] wars, one of the first two people to leave the [[ALAC|At-Large Advisory Committee]] (in early 2005), and ALAC's liaison to the [[GNSO]] Council during that time. Thomas occasionally blogs about ICANN at No Such Weblog. He was formerly a non-voting member of the [[ICANN Board]], where he represented the [[TLC|Technical Liaison Group]] from 2011 to 2012, as well as 2008 to 2009.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/biog/roessler.htm Bio Roessler, ICANN.org]</ref>
In late 2004, Thomas joined the [[W3C|World Wide Web Consortium]]'s staff to focus more on the technical side of the net. He now serves as W3C's Security Activity Lead and is involved in the European PrimeLife and PrivacyOS projects.
===ICANN Board===
Mr. Roessler has previously excused himself from discussing and influencing votes on issues related to ICANN's [[New gTLD Program|new gTLD program]] as per a 2011 conflict of interests policy. He excused himself from a vote in December 2011, but as of February 2012, he was once again voting on issues related to new gTLDs.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/seven-icann-directors-have-new-gtld-conflicts/ Seven ICANN Directors Have New gTLD Conflicts]</ref>
===DNSO Transition===
Mr. Roessler was the chair of the [[DNSO]] when it disbanded, following the membership renunciation of the [[ccTLD]] managers that resulted in the creation of the [[ccNSO]] and the DNSO's replacement, the [[GNSO]]. In his farewell email, Thomas wrote, "At some point of time between 9:10 and 9:40 a.m. Amsterdam time on Sunday [15 December 2002], the DNSO ceased to be (and will, perhaps not unlike a phoenix from the ashes, become the GNSO).." His entire farewell email can be found [http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/ga/Arc11/msg01325.html here].
