Andy Müller-Maguhn is a German journalist who served on the ICANN Board from November 2000 to June 2003.

ICANN

Andy was elected to the ICANN Board in November 2000. He represented the European region in the At-Large voting process conducted one month prior. Andy served until June 2003.[1] In 2002, after ICANN eliminated democratically elected representation, Andy said, "I used the chance to get some improvements, like getting flow of information as a core value of ICANN. So I still think I can be a constructive part of ICANN, improving it or at least making it less worse…. But there is a major shift making the governments a much stronger part of ICANN and reducing at-large input to a quite unspecified role."[2]

Career

Andy is a German journalist who has studied social and technological developments in the field of electronic networks. He has been a member of the Chaos Computer Club, a German hacker association, since the early 1980s and has served on its board. According to ICANN, "Through this work, he gets in touch with and looks after projects that claim a critical and creative handling of technology. The main part of this work lies within the future-compatible structures and lifeforms and in the attempt to support those developments through transparency."[1]
