Hervey Allen works for the Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC). The NSRC provides technical information, engineering assistance, training, equipment, and educational materials to network operators at research and education institutions and Internet Service Providers in emerging regions. Over the past few years Hervey has done extensive organizing, coordinating and teaching in network workshops and tutorials covering topics such as network monitoring and management, Unix system administration, security best practices, DNSSEC, scalable network services, and campus network design. These workshops have been held in over 40 countries around the world and have been part of events such as APRICOT, APNIC, SANOG, AfNOG, PacNOG, WALC and multiple ccTLD trainings. Before joining the NSRC Hervey graduated from the University of Oregon in Computer Science, and Pomona College in Los Angeles, California in History of Science. He has run and built help desks at Pomona College and the University of Oregon, was a Systems Engineer with Turbolinux, Inc. and worked with several non-profit organizations building their technical infrastructure. Hervey is a member of several coordinating and planning committees for larger Network Operator Group events, such as AfNOG, APRICOT PAcNOG and SANOG.

Dean Pemberton has worked on both sides of the fence. He has spent time in his career as both a technical trainer, as well as an operational network engineer. While at Ascend Communications and Lucent Technologies, Dean worked as an Asia-Pacific based network troubleshooter traveling across the region debugging and fixing networks. He was also lucky enough to assist both organisations develop their technical qualification programmes. Dean went on to work for Juniper Networks in the dual role of Senior Network Engineer and Technical Trainer, jointly gaining qualifications across the technical (JNCIP) and teaching fields (JNAT). While at Juniper, Dean not only supported some of the largest carrier networks within the region, but also traveled extensively giving both 5 day introductory workshops as well as one day intensive programmes. Upon returning to New Zealand in the mid 2000's, Dean has worked for both public and private sector organisations in a number of technical and policy roles. Currently he is an independent contractor working with InternetNZ in the position of Technical Policy Analyst. It is through this role that Dean plays an active part in the policy development processes of APNIC and other international organisations. Dean continues to provide knowledge and leadership to the New Zealand Internet community through board and trustee positions with the New Zealand Network Operators Group (NZNOG), the New Zealand IPv6 Task Force, and the Wellington Loop Trust. He also serves on the programme committee for the APRICOT and APNIC conferences. Network Security is Dean's other area of expertise. Along with a Masters degree in Computer Science specialising in network attack detection techniques, he holds a board level position with the New Zealand Internet Task Force, a non-profit organisation charged with improving the cyber-security posture of the New Zealand Internet. For the Network Startup Resource Centre Dean teaches and leads workshops as well as providing direct engineering assistance designing and implementing network changes at locations in Asia, the Pacific and Africa.
