------------------------------------------------ Statement:

Being involved with the Internet since more than 15 years, I see the beginning of several major changes during the last years. The tremendous increase in commercial usage makes it necessary to adopt the internal structures. There are more and more political and social influences which replace the pure technical rules of the earlier years.

The ISOC has to play a central role in the new social and political environment of the Internet. I intend to help the ISOC grow and become a major focus point for all political questions regarding the Internet from forces like the US, the EC and all other governmental bodies. The ISOC must answer questions coming with the social and cultural influences to the society imposed by the Internet.

At the same time we should continue the promotion of open and freely available standards from the IETF. The role of the ISOC as an educational body must be extended from the technical education of emerging countries to the social and political guidance of users of the Internet all over the world.

To represent the users of the Internet the ISOC needs more members, individuals as well as companies and organizations. To achieve this, we need a strong local chapter structure. Being first an individual member representing my personal thoughts, ideas and efforts, I am a member of the German chapter and will continue to work for a stronger representation of the chapters in the BOT. The regional chapters are a possible link to the local government and these connections should be intensified.

If elected, I will put my best efforts in making the ISOC stronger and the Internet better for private and commercial users.
