-'''Bill Woodcock''' is the research director of Packet Clearing House (PCH), a nonprofit research institute dedicated to understanding and supporting Internet traffic exchange technology, policy and economics. Woodcock entered the field of Internet routing research in 1989, while serving as the network architect and operations director for an international multiprotocol service-provision backbone network. In 1993 and 1994, he was one of the founders of PCH, and he has served in his current post since 1997. In that time, Woodcock has directly participated in the establishment of more than three dozen public Internet exchange points in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas. He continues to serve on the boards of, and provide ongoing technical and policy advice to, many of these institutions. He was the principal lobbyist on the white-hat side of the successful passage of California's model anti-spam legislation in 1998 and has successfully concluded telecommunications regulatory reform efforts in several African countries.
