'''Jordi Iparraguirre''' is [[ccNSO]] [[NomCom]] selectee (2013-14), member of the board of [[Euralo]] since 2013 and  former [[.CAT]] Registry Operations manager (2006, sunrise) and CEO (2006-13).  

Jordi has been tinkering with modems, networks and computers since the '80s and got flashed by [[EARN]], [[BitNET]], [[USEnet]] and the Internet in the early '90s.

Under his direction .cat showed a healthy and constant growth (more than 62.000 domains under management), renewal rates of 82% to 85%, high usage rates and full presence on the street. On the technical side .cat was IDN and IPv6 enabled since sunrise and was the 1st gTLD to be DNSSEC ready. On the social side, being .cat a community sponsored gTLD, the registry started a Grants program to reinvest in community proposed projects, and an European program, together with other ccTLDs, to bring web content development and use to schools. Amongst other events, the registry organized a [[CENTR]] general assembly, the first ever joint CENTR-[[LACTLD]] joint working sesions and helped with Studienkreis held in Barcelona. <ref>[http://www.icann-studienkreis.net/puntcat.pdf icann-studienkreis.net]</ref>

 

He is currently providing consultancy and business intelligence to new gTLDs and ccTLDs as well as promoting Internet users' rights and their right to privacy.
