ACM has elected a new leadership. It has has two long time IETFers who
are currently active as well.

Vint Cerf - Who is known as the "Father of the Internet"[1] and had
formulated both TCP/IP and is present at several IETF and ISOC events.

The second is Radia Perlman who is a longtime contributor to the
Routing Area and often takes the Security tutorial at IETF (she is
doing so in Vancouver as well). Incidentally She is also known as the
"Mother of the Internet"[2]

With the "parents of the Internet" :) on the governing board of the
ACM, the computer science community is in good hands. Thanks to the
ISOC fellowship, I have had the pleasure to interact with both these
down-to-earth people.
