The IAB has just notified the ITU-T that Deborah Brungard will be the new IETF
Liaison Manager to the ITU-T for MPLS. Deborah was appointed following an open
call for volunteers (see email from Scott Mansfield to the IETF list on Fri
3/29/2013 4:32 PM EDT). Please congratulate Deborah when you see her.
Please thank Scott Mansfield for his past service in this role. Scott is now
the overall liaison manager to ITU-T, and as such I am confident that he will
provide valuable support for Deborah.
Thanks,
Russ

Subject: Appointment of Deborah Brungard as new IETF Liaison Manager to the
ITU-T for MPLS
The IAB would like to bring to the ITU-T's attention the appointment of Ms
Deborah Brungard as the new IETF Liaison Manager to the ITU-T for MPLS.
The IETF-ITU-T MPLS liaison role helps facilitate communication between the
IETF and the ITU-T on matters of MPLS. The MPLS liaison manager is
responsible for ensuring the liaisons from the IETF on MPLS are routed to the
correct study group(s) in the ITU-T and any incoming liaison from the ITU-T
on MPLS is communicated to the proper working groups, usually MPLS, CCAMP,
and PWE3 working groups.
Deborah Brungard has been with AT&T for more than 28 years with experience in
network and service management. She is a Lead Member of Technical Staff in
AT&T's Network Technologies Unit. She is IETF Routing Area's CCAMP Co-Chair,
she has co-chaired CCAMP for more than 6 years. CCAMP (Common Control and
Measurement Plane) is responsible for GMPLS and works cooperatively with
MPLS, L2VPN, PWE3, OSPF, PCE, IDR, and ISIS. She is also the Routing Area
Directorate Coordinator and Routing Area Secretary. Deborah has actively
contributed in SG15 for more than 15 years, including as an Editor (in the
early 2000's). She is very familiar with the ITU-T process, she was Chair of
ANSI (American National Standards) T1X1.5 (Optical Standards) for several
years in the early 2000's.
For the IAB,
Russ Housley
IAB Chair
