Bangladeshi national joins .ORG Advisory Council

TIM Nurul Kabir, a Bangladeshi national, has been elected as a member of the global advisory council of .ORG, a global policy forum for technology and internet governance.
Created in 2003, the council provides advice on policy, outreach and new services to improve registry operations and to support the global, non-commercial .ORG community.
Kabir has 23 years of experience in e-development, telecom, software and IT services development. He contributed to Bangladesh's National ICT Policy formulation committee and played a role in the National ICT Roadmap for the country.
He is a former senior vice-president of Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services and the chairman for international affairs and cooperation of Bangladesh Computer Samity.
The council consists of 15 members with at least two from each of the following six regions: Asia/Middle East, Asia Pacific, Africa, Europe, North America and Latin America, said Maarten Botterman, chairman of Public Interest Registry (PIR), the not-for-profit operator of the .ORG domain.
“The .ORG domain serves over 10 million organisations, companies and individuals globally," said Brain Cute, chief executive officer of PIR.
“The .ORG Advisory Council has had and will continue to have a critical role in that success.”
