His role was recognized by the Federal Minister for Communications as having been discharged for a decade with distinction.</p> <p>In recognition of the broad-ranging experiences he encountered over that decade, the organizational transformation he prosecuted and sustained throughout his term, and the significant contribution that the ACMA made to the policy debate about regulation in these sectors, Chris was appointed President of the International Institute of Communications in 2016. He is the first president in the organization's nearly 50-year history to be appointed from the Asia Pacific region.</p> <p>Since 2016, Chris' directorships and work have covered a broad spectrum of interests including philanthropic and not-for-profit, sports advisory work (particularly in the governance space), film script development, international media and communications developments, bleeding-edge digital technologies, and digital transformation consulting. He also has several digital platforms under development.</p> <p>Some earlier career highlights include serving as the Associate to the Chief Justice of Australia, working as a corporate lawyer and legal counsel, holding senior management positions with the Seven Network, and being the Chief Executive of the Sydney Olympic stadium, the Optus broadband joint venture, and Prime Infrastructure Limited.</p> <p>Chris has successfully chaired organizations in the private, public, and not-for-profit sectors, several of them very complex ones requiring agile stakeholder skills.

During those 25-plus years, he participated in and led more than 50 international projects and studies and published more than 80 peer-reviewed reports for governments and industry on Future Net issues with teams, including experts with advanced academic degrees from many disciplines, ranging from technology and mathematics to economics and law, and from many different countries and cultures.</p> <p>Maarten was employed as Head of Unit and Senior Adviser to the Dutch Government (1987–1995) and as Scientific Officer to the Communications Technology Research program that was run by the European Commission (1995–1999). These years brought many insights about the public interest and governance aspects of the developing global, networked knowledge society. These insights were further deepened when working for RAND Corporation, setting up and running an Information Society policy practice in Europe (1999–2006), with an emphasis on policy evaluation and scenario planning. Since 2006, he has been working as an independent strategic adviser to governments and businesses in close cooperation with leading independent research institutions in Europe (including RAND Europe, TNO Netherlands, DTI Danmark, Inno France, and CIVIC Germany). Today, he is internationally recognized as a governance and future Internet expert and is a regular contributor to international Internet governance events such as the Internet Governance Forum, where he is leading the Dynamic Coalition for the Internet of Things.</p> <p>Next to advising the Dutch government and the European Commission on Internet governance issues, he got deeply involved in ICANN's work as a Board member and Chairman of the Public Interest Registry (2008–2016), over time actively participating in more than 40 ICANN meetings. Having worked internationally since 1995, he has extensive experience in working with people from different national and cultural backgrounds, and is comfortable in engaging in English, German, French, and Dutch (mother tongue). He has a reputation as an independent, trustworthy, out-of-the-box thinker who is able to look at issues from several perspectives with strong awareness of the bigger picture. Having served on boards and having reported to boards, he has extensive experience with effective board governance and the responsibilities and obligations that come with a director's position on a U.S. nonprofit board. Over the years, he has been a frequent guest speaker and/or moderator, mostly at smart technology-related events.</p> <p>Maarten holds an advanced degree in business economics from Erasmus University Rotterdam. He is a certified coach and has a certificate in medical-based knowledge, both of which help in better understanding of what drives people in decision-making and going through life. In addition, he has completed several board excellence trainings with internationally renowned institutions, including Harvard Business School, INSEAD, IMD, MIT, Yale School of Management, and Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management. His areas of interest include government, civil society, and technology.</p> <p>Maarten is based in Rotterdam, Netherlands. He was nominated to serve on the ICANN Board by the Nominating Committee in 2016 and served as Board Chair from 2019 until 2022. His third and final term will expire at the Annual General Meeting in 2025.</p></div></div></div></iti-bio-card-popup></div></div></dialog></iti-dialog></iti-bio-card></div><div _ngcontent-ng-c1323477837="" class="cell medium-6 iti-board-directors__member ng-star-inserted"><iti-bio-card _ngcontent-ng-c1323477837="" _nghost-ng-c1174872821=""><div _ngcontent-ng-c1174872821="" class="card"><div _ngcontent-ng-c1174872821="" class="grid-x grid-padding-x align-top"><div _ngcontent-ng-c1174872821="" class="cell shrink"><iti-person-image _ngcontent-ng-c1174872821="" _nghost-ng-c3043913041=""><img _ngcontent-ng-c3043913041="" loading="lazy" class="personImage ng-star-inserted" alt="Chris Buckridge" src="https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/about-the-board/chris-buckridge-board-26-10-2023-en-large.jpeg"></iti-person-image></div><div _ngcontent-ng-c1174872821="" class="cell auto container grid-y bioInfo"><div _ngcontent-ng-c1174872821="" class="grid-x grid-padding-x align-middle"><div _ngcontent-ng-c1174872821="" class="cell auto"><h2 _ngcontent-ng-c1174872821="" class="name">Chris Buckridge</h2><div _ngcontent-ng-c1174872821="" class="status"><iti-bio-card-author-status _ngcontent-ng-c1174872821="" _nghost-ng-c623364429=""><div _ngcontent-ng-c623364429="" class="testz ng-star-inserted">Board Member</div></iti-bio-card-author-status></div><button _ngcontent-ng-c1174872821="" tabindex="0" class="cta-chevron read-biography ng-star-inserted"> Read biography </button></div></div><div _ngcontent-ng-c1323477837="" class="selected-by ng-star-inserted"><div _ngcontent-ng-c1323477837="" class="header colon-title"> Selected By </div><p _ngcontent-ng-c1323477837="">GNSO</p></div><div _ngcontent-ng-c1323477837="" class="term ng-star-inserted"><div _ngcontent-ng-c1323477837="" class="header colon-title"> Term </div><p _ngcontent-ng-c1323477837=""> October 2023 -

Beckwith (“Becky”) Burr is a partner at Harris, Wiltshire & Grannis, LLP, a Washington, DC law firm. Her practice focuses on data protection, data governance, and cyber security. Prior to joining the firm, Becky was Neustar’s Deputy General Counsel and Chief Privacy Officer. In that capacity, she was responsible for implementing the company’s “privacy by design” program, and ensuring that the company maintained state-of-the-art privacy and data security to protect customer and consumer information. As an expert on Internet governance issues, Ms. Burr also provided policy and legal advice related to the company’s provision of Internet domain name registry services.</p> <p>Becky joined Neustar in 2012 from the Washington, DC office of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr, where she was a partner in the Communications, Privacy and Internet Law Practice Group and the Financial Institutions Practice Group. Her practice was both regulatory and transactional, focused on e-commerce, information technology, intellectual property licensing, and international regulation of communications and information technology. She was recognized as a Nationwide Leader in the Privacy and Data Security field in the 2007- 2012 editions of Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers in Business (Global 2011-2012) and selected by her peers for inclusion in the 2007- 2012 editions of The Best Lawyers in America, in the area of information technology law.</p> <p>Prior to joining WilmerHale, Becky served as the Associate Administrator and Director of International Affairs and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), where she was responsible for the privacy and Internet governance work streams described in the Clinton Administration’s Framework for Global Electronic Commerce. She also served as an Attorney Advisor at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) from 1995 – 1997, where she participated in developing the FTC’s approach to competition, consumer protection, and privacy/data protection in the digital marketplace. Becky’s history with ICANN dates back to 1997 when she headed NTIA’s Office of International Affairs and participated in the U.S. Government (USG) team that produced the so-called “Green Paper” and “White Paper” on privatization of the domain name system.

In 1975, he was one of the founders of the first Department of Computer Science in Chile, at the University of Chile, where he is currently a Full Professor. He has a long list of scientific publications, most of them in the fields of Data Structures and Analysis of Algorithms. He is also an Internet pioneer in his country, having started the first email network connecting Chilean universities to the world, and later participating in the connection of Chile to the Internet. Since 1987, the Department of Computer Science of the University of Chile took on the responsibility of managing the registry for .CL, the domain name registry for the Republic of Chile. Over the years, this grew and became NIC Chile, one of the oldest and largest registries in Latin America. Patricio has led NIC Chile since its founding. As representative of NIC Chile, Patricio participated in the International Forum of the White Paper (IFWP) process that led to the creation of ICANN, then served as a member of the Names Council of the Domain Names Supporting Organization (DNSO), until it split into the GNSO and the ccNSO. For many years he was a member and vice-chair of the ccNSO Council, and has participated in various working groups, notably the Framework of Interpretation (FoI), the ccPDP Retirement WG and the Meetings Program Standing Committee (MPC). In 2017 he received the ICANN Multistakeholder Ethos Award, jointly with his colleague Hiro Hotta. On the regional area, he was one of the founders of LACTLD, the Latin American and Caribbean ccTLDs Organization. In parallel with his work with NIC Chile and with the ICANN community, Patricio is a leading engineering educator in Chile, and served as director of the School of Engineering and Science of the University of Chile for 14 years. He has received many awards for his work in the field of Engineering Education and he has recently been selected as a member of the Chilean Academy of Engineering. He was selected to serve on the ICANN Board by the ccNSO for the term 2020-2023 and renewed for the term 2024-2026.</p></div></div></div></iti-bio-card-popup></div></div></dialog></iti-dialog></iti-bio-card></div><div _ngcontent-ng-c1323477837="" class="cell medium-6 iti-board-directors__member ng-star-inserted"><iti-bio-card _ngcontent-ng-c1323477837="" _nghost-ng-c1174872821=""><div _ngcontent-ng-c1174872821="" class="card"><div _ngcontent-ng-c1174872821="" class="grid-x grid-padding-x align-top"><div _ngcontent-ng-c1174872821="" class="cell shrink"><iti-person-image _ngcontent-ng-c1174872821="" _nghost-ng-c3043913041=""><img _ngcontent-ng-c3043913041="" loading="lazy" class="personImage ng-star-inserted" alt="Sajid Rahman" src="https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/board/sajid-rahman-19-10-2022-en-large.png"></iti-person-image></div><div _ngcontent-ng-c1174872821="" class="cell auto container grid-y bioInfo"><div _ngcontent-ng-c1174872821="" class="grid-x grid-padding-x align-middle"><div _ngcontent-ng-c1174872821="" class="cell auto"><h2 _ngcontent-ng-c1174872821="" class="name">Sajid Rahman</h2><div _ngcontent-ng-c1174872821="" class="status"><iti-bio-card-author-status _ngcontent-ng-c1174872821="" _nghost-ng-c623364429=""><div _ngcontent-ng-c623364429="" class="testz ng-star-inserted">Board Member</div></iti-bio-card-author-status></div><button _ngcontent-ng-c1174872821="" tabindex="0" class="cta-chevron read-biography ng-star-inserted"> Read biography </button></div></div><div _ngcontent-ng-c1323477837="" class="selected-by ng-star-inserted"><div _ngcontent-ng-c1323477837="" class="header colon-title"> Selected By </div><p _ngcontent-ng-c1323477837="">Nominating Committee</p></div><div _ngcontent-ng-c1323477837="" class="term ng-star-inserted"><div _ngcontent-ng-c1323477837="" class="header colon-title"> Term </div><p _ngcontent-ng-c1323477837=""> September 2022 - Annual General Meeting 2025 </p></div><iti-bio-card-committees _ngcontent-ng-c1323477837="" _nghost-ng-c4173420968="" class="ng-star-inserted"><div _ngcontent-ng-c4173420968="" class="ng-star-inserted"><div _ngcontent-ng-c4173420968="" id="committees-header" class="header colon-title"> Committees </div><ul _ngcontent-ng-c4173420968="" data-testid="bio-card-committees" aria-labelledby="committees-header"><li _ngcontent-ng-c4173420968="" class="ng-star-inserted"><a _ngcontent-ng-c4173420968="" class="committee-link" href="/en/board/committees/compensation-bcc"> Compensation Committee of the Board (BCC) </a><span _ngcontent-ng-c4173420968="" class="member-role">Member</span></li><li _ngcontent-ng-c4173420968="" class="ng-star-inserted"><a _ngcontent-ng-c4173420968="" class="committee-link" href="/en/board/committees/finance-bfc"> Finance Committee of the Board (BFC) </a><span _ngcontent-ng-c4173420968="" class="member-role">Chair</span></li><li _ngcontent-ng-c4173420968="" class="ng-star-inserted"><a _ngcontent-ng-c4173420968="" class="committee-link" href="/en/board/committees/governance-bgc"> Governance Committee of the Board (BGC) </a><span _ngcontent-ng-c4173420968="" class="member-role">Member</span></li></ul></div></iti-bio-card-committees></div></div></div><iti-dialog _ngcontent-ng-c1174872821="" _nghost-ng-c828859689=""><dialog _ngcontent-ng-c828859689=""><div _ngcontent-ng-c828859689="" class="modal-content"><div _ngcontent-ng-c828859689="" class="modal-header"><button _ngcontent-ng-c828859689="" type="button" aria-label="Close" class="close-btn"></button></div><div _ngcontent-ng-c828859689="" class="modal-body"><iti-bio-card-popup _ngcontent-ng-c1174872821="" _nghost-ng-c1180981755=""><div _ngcontent-ng-c1180981755="" class="bio-modal grid-x grid-padding-x align-right" dir="ltr"><div _ngcontent-ng-c1180981755="" class="cell"><div _ngcontent-ng-c1180981755="" class="grid-x grid-padding-x bio-modal__header"><div _ngcontent-ng-c1180981755="" class="cell shrink"><iti-person-image _ngcontent-ng-c1180981755="" class="cell shrink" _nghost-ng-c3043913041=""><img _ngcontent-ng-c3043913041="" loading="lazy" class="personImage ng-star-inserted" alt="Sajid Rahman" src="https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/board/sajid-rahman-19-10-2022-en-large.png"></iti-person-image></div><div _ngcontent-ng-c1180981755="" class="cell auto bio-modal__info"><h3 _ngcontent-ng-c1180981755="" class="name">Sajid Rahman</h3><iti-bio-card-author-status _ngcontent-ng-c1180981755="" _nghost-ng-c623364429=""><div _ngcontent-ng-c623364429="" class="testz ng-star-inserted">Board Member</div></iti-bio-card-author-status></div></div><div _ngcontent-ng-c1180981755="" ititransformcontentlinks="" class="bio-modal__content"><p>Sajid Rahman is a multidisciplinary leader who has worked in the financial services, health care, renewable energy, and technology sectors.
