RE: Welcome / introductions

Hi all,

My name is Peter Rushforth, and I work for the Canadian federal government in the national mapping agency.  I am interested in Web architecture, standards and mapping. I am mostly interested in listening in on the discussions this group will have, to be honest.  I support efforts to avoid forcing solutions on the Web, and I also am familiar with the challenges of introducing voluntary standards into domains that are of common and economic interest to everyone.

I am located in Ottawa, Canada.

Nice to meet you all (again)!

Peter

Hello everyone. Welcome to the Community Group!

We're just getting started, so please excuse the quiet while we wait for people to join and allow the Americans their holiday. I'm aiming to hold an online meeting before the end of the year, so that we can start discussing how the group will function and what we want to focus on first. 

However, it'd first be good to get to know each other.  Please send an e-mail introducing yourself, including:

* A brief summary of your background
* Why you're participating in this group
* Where you call home (so we can try to schedule meetings when it's not *too* painful for anyone)

I'll start below.

My name is Mark Nottingham, and I'm one of the folks who supported formation of this Community Group and coordinated drafting of the charter.

I've worked in Internet and Web standards for more than 20 years, having chaired a few different groups (including HTTP and QUIC), authoring many RFCs (including the most recent revision of HTTP), and also being a member of the W3C Technical Architecture Group and Internet Architecture Board.  I currently work for Fastly, a US-based Content Delivery Network, and I'm also working on a Graduate Diploma in Communications Law at Melbourne Law School. 

I'm excited about combining architecturally sound, open specifications with the potential for a legal mandate from regulators -- while there are many risks, there are also opportunities to improve the Internet in ways that haven't been possible to date.

I'm located in Melbourne, Australia.

Cheers,
