Reason for nomination

Prof. Ma Yan has been in the executive committee of China Education and Research Network (CERNET) since 1994. He is the co-supervisor of CERNET NIC dealing with the IP address allocation/assignment and domain name registration. He has also been in charge of the operation of North China regional network of CERNET, which connects the universities in Beijing, Shanxi and Inner Mongolia.

He is deputy director of Information Network Center of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT). His responsibility is for the planning, construction and operation of computer campus network of BUPT since 1994. He has lots of experience on the IP addressing technical plan as a campus network administrator.

He is a professor in Computer Science and Engineering Department of BUPT and has been teaching and doing research in the field of computer network and telecommunications since 1982. He has been leading several national key technology research projects, including network management, mobile and wireless network, IPv6, multimedia transmission and distance learning. He is doing consulting work for Telecoms in China.

He is also very active in the Internet related international events. He was the ex-convenor of APEC TEL HRDSG (Human Resource Development Steering Group) during the year of 2000-2001. He has successfully leaded the HRDSG taken the job.

In summary, Prof. Ma has similar experience as mine in the IP address allocation/assignment process. In addition, he has experience in Telecoms business and international activities. I strongly believe that he will make great contribution to APNIC.
