| Trevor Butler, Managing Director, Nexus TSP Ltd. | Top | |
| Nexus TSP is part of the Aberdeen based Nexus Group of companies that
offer business performance and assurance to the Oil & Gas sector worldwide. I am an MBA, Managing Director of Nexus and former Competitive Development Director Main Board of John Wood Group Plc. My work in developing proprietary methodologies for Market Positioning Analysis contributed to my appointment as Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Marketing; additionally my work in Information Management Strategy secured the UK National IT Industry 'Raising Standards' award. I have led several large scale ($100M+) alliances in the Oil & Gas Sector. All involved the alignment of contracting and operator organisations to commercial risk and reward models based on the business performance of producing Asset Groups. In direct Management Consultancy I have extensive experience of Project and Change Management in the Energy, Communications and Central Government sectors having worked with BP, AMOCO, Mercury Communications, Davy, Trafalgar House, AEA Technology, DHSS, and The British Colombian Securities Commission. I am currently working on a new group venture in Silicon Valley involving partnerships with Verisign, Documentum, PeopleSoft and other contiguous market companies. Elected to the board, I would ensure that tScheme was well represented both within the Scottish Business Community and specifically the UK & International Oil & Gas Sectors. |

| Alan Cox, Head of International Technologies, Vodafone | Top | |
| Importance of having mobile telecoms industry representation on the tScheme board: Two devices capable of computation and communication are in widespread use: the PC and the mobile phone. While much e-commerce will undoubtedly take place from PCs, the mobile phone will also play a very important part, because (a) some applications require mobility, or are given much greater scope by mobility, and (b) the SIM/WIM (smart card) on the phone is well suited to play the rôle of a personal security token. If profiles and legislation fail to accommodate the realisation of trust architectures by mobile phone and SIM/WIM, an enormous opportunity for both businesses and consumers will have been missed. Alan Cox has represented Vodafone, now the world's largest cellular operator on the GSM/SMG committee since 1986, latterly becoming vice-chairman until its replacement by 3GPP, and currently represents them on the 3GPP SA committee. For seven years he was chairman of the Services group SMG1, later 3GPP SA1. He is now Head of International Technologies, responsible within Vodafone Group world-wide for co-ordinating all GSM and UMTS standards-making. He is a member of the governing Board of ETSI and was earlier a Director of GSM Facilities Ltd. |

| Peter Dare, Manager, Trust Services Infrastructure Programme, IBM | Top | |
| I have worked for IBM UK for over 27 years. I manage IBM's Trust Services
Infrastructure programme in Europe and I am a member of the Security
Management Team which sets IBM's IT security strategy at a corporate level.
I bring over fifteen years experience in the business, policy and technical
aspects of IT security, and nearly three decades of experience in dealing
with HM Government at all levels except the very highest. In 1999 I was one of only two industry people that the Prime Minister appointed to the Cabinet Office encryption taskforce which confirmed the policy change that made tScheme's approach possible. I chaired the AEB committee which developed the idea behind tScheme. I led the preparation of industry's written evidence to the Commons Industry Committee, and appeared before the Committee to give the oral evidence which convinced first the Committee and then the Government to endorse industry leadership in this space. I even invented the name "tScheme". So, not only can I leverage IBM's determination to make tScheme a success, but I also bring to this task a strong personal commitment. |

| Terry Dirienzo, Barclays Bank | Top | |
| I have worked for Barclays for 30 years and for the last twelve I have
led teams that concentrated on electronic delivery of information and
payments. I am presently involved within Barclays and within the
banking industry on projects aiming to deliver services based on trust
and electronic signatures. I have over 7 years experience in working
with other financial institutions under the APACS umbrella to deliver
co-operative services to be used competitively in commercial ventures.
I represent APACS on the Electronic Technical Group with the European
Committee for Banking Standards (ECBS), an international group
representing 17 financial European communities. I would be able to use resources within Barclays to assist in delivering the necessary framework for tScheme to be successful and be able to tap into other financial communities for experience and expertise on other matters. Barclays has been pleased to be represented within tScheme from the formation of the interim Board. Professionally I am an Associate of the Chartered Institute of Bankers, sit on the SWIFT [UK] Board and sit on the Electronic Commerce Group (ECG) at APACS. Socially I am a Director and Chairman of a local non-league soccer club. |

| Dick Emery, Group Electronic Commerce Manager, ICL plc | Top | |
| ICL is a leading UK supplier of e-business solutions and services. I represent ICL on public policy and regulatory issues relating to e-commerce, using my extensive technical and marketing backgrounds in the IT industry. I was a joint creator of the AEB - tScheme's original sponsor - and I have participated widely in AEB affairs since its formation. I am also the CSSA's E-Commerce Group Chairman. As a retiring tScheme director, and before that a member of its informal management group, I have played a big part in creating tScheme as it now is. In particular, I was the author of the widely circulated tScheme Briefing and I lead the team developing the constitutional and contractual foundations of tScheme. So far, I have been editor-in-chief of the Memorandum, Articles and Rules. The team is now working on the standard contracts based on my first drafts. If elected to the Board, I shall continue to press ahead with placing tScheme on a sound constitutional footing and I shall ensure tScheme's financial soundness during this challenging start-up phase. I believe in maintaining a strong sense of what tScheme should achieve and focusing on making it happen, by my personal working contribution where relevant. |

| Michael Lightowler, Chairman of Notaries for E-Commerce (NEC) | Top | |
| I am a Solicitor aged 47 years practising company commercial law in an eight partner practice. I have been with the firm for over twenty three years. I am also a Notary Public an office which I have held for over ten years. I am a member of the Council of the Notaries Society and my responsibilities include the training of student and newly admitted Notaries. I am a Director of an insurance brokers in the City and a liveryman with the Worshipful Company of Scriveners. My particular interest in tScheme arises from my position as Chairman of Notaries for E-Commerce (NEC), a company established to complete a pilot project for Notaries to report on the capability of Notaries to conduct their professional business in electronic form following the passing of the Electronic Communications Act 2000. This project will identify the problems of being both user and provider of electronic trust services. NEC is particularly interested in contributing to the formulation of profile and approval standards to be applied by tScheme. I have been involved in the preparation and refinement of tScheme’s constitutional and contractual documentation over the past year. I am keen to see tScheme flourish as an organisation and I believe that my background in e-commerce and commercial law will make a valuable contribution to its further development. |

| Dick Mabbott, Head of Standards and Security, APACS | Top | |
| APACS (the Association for Payment Clearing Services) has responsibility for the integrity and security of new and developing payment systems. Its members are the major banks and building societies, many of which either have launched or are likely to launch trust services in the near future. Digital signatures, digital certificates and PKI are at the heart of emerging security mechanisms underpinning e-commerce and the next generation of payment systems. The regulation of Trust Service Providers is an important confidence building element in the development of these services. At APACS I manage a small team of security experts who are at the centre of advising the payments industry on information security. On behalf of our members, we actively participated in the government consultations on both the Electronic Communications Act and the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act. We were also a founder member of tScheme and have been active within the organisation since its inception. As a Director of tScheme I would ensure that active involvement continued. I would represent the payments industry within tScheme and at the same time represent tScheme to the major banks and building societies. |

| Anthony Parish - Director General of the Federation of the Electronics Industry | Top | |
| From the earliest stages in the development of the Electronic Communications Bill, FEI with the support of other members of the AEB took the lead in proposing self regulation for Providers of Trusted Services. Since the Bill became law, Government has looked to me as head of FEI and interim chairman of tScheme to ensure that we achieve our objectives and allow Government to avoid setting up their own certification scheme. As a Trade Association, FEI has no commercial interest in tScheme, but nonetheless with its broad base of membership, including IT (hardware, software and services) and Telecoms companies, Operators of fixed and mobile networks and the semicondustor and component industries, it can make a major contribution to its success. Anthony spent much of his career with IBM in marketing, development, strategic planning and public affairs (including responsibility for relations with Government on all standards, regulatory and technical issues. He has been Director General of FEI since 1996 |
