A mathematician by formal education, and a geek with an interest in the net's technology and its interaction with society by passion, Thomas started out around ICANN as a frequent poster to certain mailing lists. He ended up as the DNSO General Assembly's last chair, a veteran of the WHOIS wars, one of the first two people to leave the At-Large Advisory Committee (in early 2005), and ALAC's liaison the GNSO Council during that time. Thomas occasionally blogs about ICANN at no such weblog.

In late 2004, Thomas joined the World Wide Web Consortium's staff to focus more on the technical side of the net. He now serves as W3C's Security Activity Lead, and is involved in the European PrimeLife and PrivacyOS projects.

His most recent reappearance in the ICANN world was as the TLG member of the 2006 Nominating Committee. He'll be back in another role, starting at the end of the Cairo meeting.
