Jian(Jane) Zhang / .cn

As a director of .CN Registry (CNNIC) international, an ICANN ccNSO active member, and one of APNIC SIG co-chair, I would like to introduce myself to you for the upcoming board election in APTLD community.

I graduated from Northeastern University, USA with M.S. degree on Information System in 1998. After the graduation I worked in three famous telecommunication companies – GTE Internetworking, Nextel Communications and Cisco Systems in USA. Throughout my career I have been working on many IP based applications. With hands-on experience I gained in-depth understanding on the Internet. I have always been fascinated by the new technologies on the Internet that profoundly changed people’s life.

I’ve joint CNNIC only since 2007. Focusing on International developments on both business and policy research aspects. During my time in CNNIC, we’ve developed new global channels of .CN domain name and succeed in consolidating members of China’s IP address allocation alliance. I also actively participate in many international forums like ICANN. I am currently a WG member for ccNSO IDN ccTLD fast-track policy developments, and a co-chair of APNIC SIG, the policy making body of AP region IP address allocation processes.

Even though my time in the CNNIC is short, I’ve learnt from my past experience that cooperation is the way to success. Internet in China and CNNIC has experienced tremendous growth for the past few years. But we understand we can not achieve greater success by focus only in China. Thus, I, as the representative of CNNIC, would like to run for the APTLD board position. In this position, I would dedicate myself to enabling CNNIC and China to contribute more to the internet development in the Asia Pacific area by enhancing cooperation and sharing.
