Matt was glad to meet many of the people he has aided in attending conferences at the 2011 Silicon Valley Conference; it was the first time he was able to meet them despite the fact that he has been helping to bring integral members of the ICANN community together since the 2009 Seoul Conference.[1]
Background
Mr. Ashtiani attended UCLA for his undergraduate degrees in History, Political Science, and International Development Studies. He received his Master's in International Peace Studies from Trinity College in Dublin.
