Bill Diamond
Bill Diamond is the President and CEO of the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California, and a member of the IAA SETI Committee.
In June 2026 he endorsed the IAA-ratified revision of the post-detection-protocols, praising the leadership of iaa-seti-committee Chair Michael Garrett and framing the update as acknowledging both “the radically different media landscape that science functions within today” and “the vastly expanded efforts … in the search for intelligent life beyond Earth” (src-seti-detection-protocols-revision-2026-06).
