From: Mike Nelson <mrn () us ibm com> To: <farber () cis upenn edu> Subject: Update on Mike Nelson Date: Mon, 3 Aug 1998 20:20:38 -0400 After more than ten years of working in government (in the Senate, at the White House, and at the FCC), I've moved to the private sector. On July 1, I started a new job as Program Director for Internet Technology at IBM, reporting to John Patrick in IBM's Internet Division. At least for the next year or two, I'll be working out of IBM's downtown Washington, DC office. Among other things, I'll be: 1) Organizing IBM's involvement in the Global Internet Project , a coalition of 13 telecom and computer companies working to address key Internet issues (www.gip.org). John Patrick recently became chairman of the GIP. 2) Advising different parts of IBM on Internet and e-commerce issues. 3) Assisting IBM's effort to support the Internet2 project. Although I found working for the Federal government to be incredibly rewarding and interesting, I decided it was time to try something new. After considering a number of attractive offers, I chose IBM because it has the talent, the breadth, and the quality management needed to be a major player in most aspects of the Internet economy. I'm particularly excited about the opportunity to work with John Patrick and Irving Wladawsky-Berger, the head of IBM's Internet Division. My new coordinates: Michael R. Nelson Program Director, Internet Technology IBM Corp. 1301 K St., N.W., Suite 1200 Washington, DC 20005 202-515-5137 mrn () us ibm com
