WG Chair Biographies

Desiree Miloshevic is an active connector, Internet public servant and a member of the global Internet governance community. She served as Special Adviser to the UN Under-Secretary and Chair of the Internet Governance Multistakeholder Advisory Group, as Trustee of the Board of ISOC and on the Board of Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility.

She is currently co-chair of the RIPE Cooperation Working Group.

Desiree has a decade-plus of close and productive interactions with regulators, intergovernmental leaders, academics, artists, and community activists throughout the world. This provides her with a unique set of resources with which to engage the often complex, cross-sectoral challenges of Internet technical coordination and governance.

She also serves on the UK IGF Program Committee, ISOC England UK and ISOC Belgrade Chapter and chairs the board of Share Foundation. When she is not fighting for the free and open Internet, Desiree is working on a DesCon.me conference – an annual IoT Ecology Hackathon for South East Europe which she founded in 2015.

In his dayjob, he interlinks the areas of policy, standardisation, and cybersecurity. Peter represents DENIC at national and international bodies and organisations like ICANN, IGF, and the ITU, translating technology into policy and vice versa. He currently focusses on Internet governance and the stability and resilience of the Internet identifier systems.
