Equinix, Inc., the leading provider of network-neutral data centers and Internet exchange services, today announced that Louis Lee, senior network engineer for Equinix, has been elected to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Address Supporting Organization Address Council from the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) region. Lee will serve a three-year term beginning January 1, 2004.

The Address Supporting Organization Address Council is charged with overseeing recommendations on IP address policy, including the periodic hosting of an open General Assembly of the Address Supporting Organization, as well as the management of policy development activities. The other major aspect of the role of the Address Council is the appointment of directors to the ICANN Board of Directors. "I am honored to represent the ARIN region on the ASO AC," said Louis Lee. "With my background implementing Equinix's vision of neutral exchange points where all of the world's major networks and eight out of the top ten Web properties interconnect, I believe that I can offer a unique perspective to the council."

At Equinix, Lee manages the corporate wide-area & local-area networks within Equinix's neutral centers. He has also held other positions in network operations, managing a large-scale ISP for several years before joining Equinix. Active in ARIN since 2000, Lee has strong operational expertise in IPv4, inter-domain routing, and Domain Name Service (DNS), covering the three areas to which the ASO is charged for the development of global policies.
