Daniel has over 16 years of experience architecting, designing, deploying, and operating IP networks. Throughout the course of his career, he has held roles of increasing responsibility to include but not limited to IP Address Management (supernet through individual host assignments), IP routing and switching, load-balancers, firewalls, optical line systems, and system administration.

No Response
b) The role of the Advisory Council is to advise the Board of Trustees on Internet number resource policy and related matters. Describe a similar experience you have had in such an advisory role.
As looked upon as a subject matter expert on multiple domains across networking, I am often asked for my advice and guidance to assist in architecting various aspects of the network. This would include gathering data to understand the problem they are trying to solve. Once that is collected, I would work with the peers in those groups to jointly create a solidified plan to be presented as an advisory on the situation.
3. Eligibility
a) Please disclose any conflicts of interest you may have, real or perceived, that would impact your ability to perform your duty as a member of ARIN’s Advisory Council. How do you propose to resolve any such conflicts?
A perceived conflict would be that I work for Charter Communications and would have the interest of my company in mind. As I do with many other decisions, I always look at the bigger picture of how this affects more than just my current scope of responsibilities and how it would affect others that may not be directly involved in the decision-making process. If there were such a conflict that I could not back away from, I would abstain from providing guidance and/or voting on said matters.
b) Are you currently eligible to serve on the Advisory Council according to the Conflicts of Interest Policy?
Yes
c) If not currently eligible, how will you become eligible to serve if elected (i.e. “If elected, I will resign from the position of ________ before 31 Dec 2023”). If not applicable, simply enter “N/A”.
N/A
d) Describe any limitations on your ability to: attend AC and Public Policy Meetings in person; or serve all of the elected term.
No limitations
4. Nominee Information
a) Have you attended ARIN meetings or otherwise participated in ARIN activities in the past? What did you find the most rewarding from those meetings or activities? What suggestions for improvement do you have?
Yes, I attended the last ARIN meeting in Tampa, FL. I found the most rewarding aspect of the various members of the community involved in discussing policy and how it relates to the internet ecosystem.
b) What areas of Internet number resource policy, if any, need more attention by ARIN; why?
As time progresses, there will be areas that become obsolete that need to be reviewed.
c) Aside from the professional experience and expertise detailed above, describe any other specific skills, background, and/or areas of expertise you believe will assist the Advisory Council in carrying out its duties.
