Nominee

Biography

Hervé Clément is a French citizen, based in Paris. After completing statistical studies, he worked within the Research & Development Division of Orange, formerly France Telecom, for ten years as network dimensioning and QoS Project Manager before joining the Numbering, Addressing and Naming (NAN) Department in 2010.

Now as the head of this department, Hervé has the functional responsibility of the former so-called "extra large" fr.telecom LIR. He, therefore, has the operational experience of the management of IP resources and ASN at large scale. Furthermore, Hervé coordinates the technical policy strategy at group level on addressing issues expressed in international structures or bodies (RIPE, RIPE NCC and AfriNIC) and supports the LIRs within Orange (Europe, Middle East and Africa) regarding inter alia their relationship with their respective RIR.

Another mission of the Orange NAN Department is the contribution to the Internet Naming strategy. He closely follows the current technical ICANN issues via, for example, the ICANN Internet Service Providers and Connectivity Providers (ISPCP) Constituency of which he is a member.

Hervé is vice-chair of the European Telecommunications Network Operators’ Association (ETNO) Naming, Addressing and Numbering Issues (NANI) Working Group. In close relationship with the chair of the WG, he shares European information regarding Naming and Addressing current topics and drives relevant discussions within that group.

Having been selected Chair of the ASO AC in 2023, Hervé has helped the Council to achieve its objective to update the dedicated Operational Procedures.

Motivation

I am a French citizen based in Paris and had joined the Orange (formally France Télécom) "Numbering, Addressing and Naming" (NAN) Department in 2010. Now, as the head of this department, I have the functional responsibility of the former so-called "extra-large" fr.telecom LIR, including the operational experience of IP resources and ASN management at large scale. Furthermore, I coordinate the technical addressing issues policy strategy at group level, based on the discussions held in related international structures or bodies (RIPE, RIPE NCC and AfriNIC) and support Orange LIRs in Europe, Middle East and Africa in this matter.

Having attended all RIPE meetings since 2010, I had the opportunity to become NRO NC member less than 10 years ago and I have chaired this Council for the past 4 years, when the IPC2 update related work has been performed.

I am honored to submit my candidacy for another term, confident that my experience and knowledge of the Internet Technical Governance ecosystem will contribute to the Council's ability to fulfill its missions.
