[EURO-Discuss] Welcome Matthias Langenegger to the ICANN At-Large Staff

[Nick Ashton-Hart]

Dear all:

It is my pleasure to introduce you to Matthias Langenegger, who has  
just joined the At-Large staff in the Policy Unit as At-Large  
Coordination Officer. He’ll be helping support the global At-Large  
community in scheduling, meeting support and logistics, servicing  
information requests, minuting meetings, and helping keep the websites  
and community communications tools (like the new membership system) up- 
to-date amongst other essential tasks.

Many of you may know Matthias from the IGF Secretariat, where he  
interned throughout much of 2007 -  while there he assisted in the  
preparations for the Rio de Janeiro Internet Governance Forum in  
November 2007, coordinating the sessions schedule and providing  
logistical coordination. He also assisted in the assessment process  
for the different workshop and best practice proposals.

Before and during his university education, he worked in different  
office environments such as banks and a small language school. He is  
originally from the German-speaking part of Switzerland and is a  
native German speaker who is fluent in English and French. He also  
speaks fair Catalan and Spanish having lived in Barcelona for a year.

Matthias recently graduated from the Graduate Institute of  
International Relations at the University of Geneva and holds an MA in  
international relations. He lives in Geneva. Continuing the tradition  
of very long email addresses amongst the At-Large staff, he can be  
reached at matthias.langenegger at icann.org (or, in short form,  matthias at icann.org 
).

For those who, like me, often produce inaccurate pronunciations of  
others’ names, his forename is pronounced “muhteeahs” :)

Please welcome him aboard. We’re very glad to have him!
