Thank you! John has served ITU-T in various roles and positions over the past 24 years, including appointment at WTSA-2000 as Chairman of the Special Study Group (SSG) on “IMT-2000 and beyond”. When the SSG became SG 19 at WTSA-2004, John was appointed its Chairman. Throughout his career at Nortel, John’s ongoing close coupling with design, product line management and marketing teams has been an essential element of his successes in standards. John has also had extensive involvement in ANSI T 1, TIA TR 45, 3 GPP 2, and has participated in ITU D, ITU R, 3 GPP, APT and the Wi. MAX Forum among others. John leverages his standards leadership in working with ITU-D and ITU-T in organizing, chairing and presenting at seminars and workshops on 3 G, Next Generation Networks and other topics around the world. In the past five years, he has been involved in some 13 such events (chairing many of them) and has given over 60 presentations around the world, including Europe, the CIS countries, the Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific, and the Americas. John earned a Bachelor of Applied Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of British Columbia in 1973. He served as a communications engineer with the Canadian Armed Forces, achieving the rank of Captain. John joined Bell-Northern Research, the R&D arm of Nortel, in 1978. He is currently part of Nortel’s Strategic Standards Team in the CTO Office, and is based in Ottawa, Canada. John is a Registered Professional Engineer in Ontario, Canada, and is a member of IEEE.
