GNSO council member, representing the ISPCP.

Greg Ruth holds a Ph. D. in Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His experience with the Arpanet dates back to 1973 when he was a research associate at MIT. In 1980 he left MIT to work as a senior scientist for Bolt, Beranek and Newman in that firm’s involvement in transforming the Arpanet into the Internet we know today. In 1993 he moved from BBN to GTE Laboratories to continue Internet related research and development. But when GTE acquired BBN, Greg went back to GTE Internetworking, the ISP division of the former BBN, to participate in the development of advanced services. When GTE Internetworking became Genuity, he moved to the staff of the Office of the CTO. In 2002 he took a position at Verizon as principal engineer in data communications, specializing in advanced Internet technologies. Greg has been active in the IETF as co-chair of the Real-time Traffic Flow Measurement working group and in other standards development activities. He has served in ICANN as a member of the ISPCP constituency’s executive committee and as a member of the GNSO council since 2001.
