1. Introduction

   There are thousands of networks in the internet.  There are tens of
   thousands of host machines.  There are hundreds of thousands of
   users.  It takes a great deal of effort to manage the resources and
   protocols which make the Internet possible.  Sites may have people
   who get paid to manage their hardware and software.  But the
   infrastructure of the Internet is managed by volunteers who spend
   considerable portions of their valued time to keep the people
   connected.

   Hundreds of people attend the three IETF meetings each year.  They
   represent the government, the military, research institutions,
   educational institutions, and vendors from all over the world.  Most
   of them are volunteers; people who attend the meetings to learn and
   to contribute what they know.  There are a few very special people
   who deserve special notice.  These are the people who sit on the IAB,
   IESG, and IRSG.  Not only do they spend time at the meetings, but
   they spend additional time to organize them.  They are the IETF's
   interface to other standards bodies and to the funding institutions.
   Without them, the IETF, indeed the whole Internet, would not be
   possible.

2. Acknowledgements

   In addition to the people who took the time to write their
   biographies so that I could compile them into this FYI RFC, I would
   like to give special thanks to Joyce K. Reynolds (whose biography is
   in here) for her help in creating the biography request message and
   for being such a good sounding board for me.

3. Request for Biographies

   In mid-February 1991, I sent the following message to the members of
   the IAB, IESG and IRSG.  It is their responses to this message that I
   have compiled in this FYI RFC.

      The ARPANET is 20 years old.  The next meeting of the IETF in St.
      Louis this coming March will be the 20th plenary.  It is a good
      time to credit the people who help make the Internet possible.  I
      am sending this request to the current members of the IAB, the

      IRSG, and the IESG.  At some future time, I would like to expand
      the number of people to be included.  For now, however, I am
      limiting inclusion to members of the groups listed above.

      I would like to ask you to submit to me your biography.  I intend
      to compile the bios submitted into an FYI RFC to be published
      before the next IETF meeting.  In order to maintain some
      consistency, I would like to have the bios contain three
      paragraphs.  The first paragraph should contain your bio, second
      should be your school affiliation & other interests, and the third
      should contain your opinion of how the Internet has grown.  Of
      course, if there is anything else you would like to say, please
      feel free.  The object is to let the very large user community
      know about the people who give them what they have.

4. Biographies

   The biographies are in alphabetical order.  The contents have not
   been edited; only the formating has been changed.

      4.1 Philip Almquist, IETF Internet Area Co-director

           Philip Almquist is an independent consultant based in San
           Francisco.  He has worked on a variety of projects, but is
           perhaps best known as the network designer for INTEROP '88
           and INTEROP '89.

           His career began at Carnegie-Mellon University in 1980, where
           he worked on compilers and operating systems.  His initial
           introduction to networking was analyzing crash dumps from
           TOPS-20 systems running beta test versions of DECNET.  He
           later became involved in early planning for CMU's transition
           from DECNet to TCP/IP and for network-based software support
           for the hundreds of PC's that CMU was then planning to
           acquire.

           Philip moved to Stanford University in 1983, where he played
           a key role in the evolution of Stanford's network from a
           small system built out of donated equipment by graduate
           students to today's production quality network which extends
           into virtually every corner of the University.  As Stanford's
           first "hostmaster", he invented Stanford's distributed host
           registration system and led Stanford's deployment of the
           Domain Name System.  He also did substantial work on the
           Stanford homebrew router software (now sold commercially by
           cisco Systems) and oversaw some early experiments in network
           management.

           Also, while with Stanford, Philip was a primary contributor
           to BARRNet and its short-lived predecessor, the BayBridge
           Network.  He brought up the first BARRNet link, and was
           heavily involved in the day-to-day operation of BARRNet for
           several years.

           In 1988, Philip gave up his responsibilities for the Stanford
           network in order to start his consulting business.  He
           remained with BARRNet on a part-time basis until October
           1991, devoting himself to BARRNet planning and to chairing
           its technical oversight committee.

           Philip has been an active participant in the IETF since about
           1987, when he became a charter member of the IETF's Network
           Management Working Group.  He is one of the authors of the
           Host Requirements specification, and served a brief term as
           chair of the Domain Name System Working Group.  He is
           currently chairs of the Router Requirements Working Group.

      4.2  Robert Braden, IAB Executive Director, IRSG Member

           Bob Braden joined the networking research group at ISI in
           1986.  Since then, he has been supported by NSF for research
           concerning NSFnet, and by DARPA for protocol research.  Tasks
           have included designing the statspy program for collecting
           NSFnet statistics, editing the Host Requirements RFCs, and
           coordinating the DARPA Research Testbed network DARTnet.  His
           research interests generally include end-to-end protocols,
           especially in the transport and network (Internet) layers.

           Braden came to ISI from UCLA, where he had worked 16 of the
           preceding 18 years for the campus computing center.  There he
           had technical responsibility for attaching the first
           supercomputer (IBM 360/91) to the ARPAnet, beginning in 1970.
           Braden was active in the ARPAnet Network Working Group,
           contributing to the design of the FTP protocol in particular.
           In 1975, he began to receive direct DARPA funding for
           installing the 360/91 as a "tool-bearing host" in the
           National Software Works.  In 1978, he became a member of the
           TCP Internet Working Group and began developing a TCP/IP
           implementation for the IBM system.  As a result, UCLA's
           360/91 was one of the ARPAnet host systems that replaced NCP
           by TCP/IP in the big changeover of January 1983.  The UCLA
           package of ARPAnet host software, including Braden's TCP/IP
           code, was distributed to other OS/MVS sites and was later
           sold commercially.

           Braden spent 1981-1982 in the Computer Science Department of

           University College London.  At that time, he wrote the first
           Telnet/XXX relay system connecting the Internet with the UK
           academic X.25 network.  In 1981, Braden was invited to join
           the ICCB, an organization that became the IAB, and has been
           an IAB member ever since.  When IAB task forces were formed
           in 1986, he created and still chairs the End-to-End Task
           Force (now Research Group).

           Braden has been in the computer field for 40 years this year.
           Prior to UCLA, he worked at Stanford and at Carnegie Tech.
           He has taught programming and operating systems courses at
           Carnegie Tech, Stanford, and UCLA.  He received a Bachelor of
           Engineering Physics from Cornell in 1957, and an MS in
           Physics from Stanford in 1962.

           ------------

           Regardless of the ancient Chinese curse, living through
           interesting times is not always bad.

           For me,  participation in the development of the ARPAnet and
           the Internet protocols has been very exciting.  One important
           reason it worked, I believe, is that there were a lot of very
           bright people all working more or less in the same direction,
           led by some very wise people in the funding agency.  The
           result was to create a community of network researchers who
           believed strongly that collaboration is more powerful than
           competition among researchers.  I don't think any other model
           would have gotten us where we are today.  This world view
           persists in the IAB, and is reflected in the informal
           structure of the IAB, IETF, and IRTF.
