Ram Mohan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ram Mohan is the Vice President of Business Operations and Chief Technology Officer at Afilias Limited.

Afilias, based in Ireland with offices in the US, Canada, India, UK and Germany, is the registry operator for the .info and .aero domains, the registry services provider for the .org and .mobi domains, India's .in domain and 8 other sovereign country domains (ccTLDs).

Ram is a recognized expert in Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs), the effort to make domain names work in scripts and languages other than ASCII/English. He was a co-author of the IDN Guidelines that have been widely adopted by registries worldwide, and has authored, edited or reviewed the majority of ICANN IDN technical and policy documents. He is a member of the IDN President's Advisory Committee.

Ram is one of the founding members of the ICANN Security & Stability Committee (SSAC), and the ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom). He has served on the ICANN Whois task force, and is a member of the DNSSEC-Deployment Working Group.

An active public speaker, Ram Mohan has delivered speeches on Internet Security, Cybercrime, DDOS Attacks, Multilingualization, Digital Divide, IDNs, DNSSEC and Whois. He sits on the boards of various educational and leadership non-profits in the Philadelphia area.

Ram Mohan is the name that is framed by combining names of HINDU Gods RAMA and MOHAN (which also is the other name of Krishna), although in the case of this Ram Mohan, "Ram" is really an abbreviation of his longer Indian name, Cedarampattu, which is a homonym of his home town in South India, Sedarampattu.
