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.[1] 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 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.
In late 2004, Thomas joined the 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.
Mr. Roessler is set to serve as the Technical Liaison Group's Non-Voting Liaison to the ICANN Board for 2011-2012. He was appointed to this position by W3C.[2]
