Hi All, 

As requested here is the (or something close to the) intro statement of the IPC I made on our first call. 

My name is Alex Deacon. Both myself and Diane will be representing the IPC in this EPDP.  Diane is an experienced IP lawyer and expert in matters relating to privacy including the GDPR. As for myself my experience is in internet technology policy and Infrastructure including DNS, authentication authorization identity and encryption.   Diane and I bring set of skills that is not only wide and deep but also relevant to the task at hand. 

Our goals here are simple.  It is to participate actively, constructively and respectfully toward the definition of an consensus policy for a global RDS system that meets the needs of the IP community in a GDPR compliant way.  

Lastly, and to repeat something Diane eloquently said in her intro to the list yesterday, we both look forward to listening, learning, contributing and working collaboratively with the team to find solutions that achieve the important mission of this group.

Thanks!
Alex
