Subject: "Reporting to God - Dave Maher on the IAHC and Jon Postel"
This is from the ITU newslog ..
The Economist once said: "if the Net does have a God, he is
probably Jon Postel."
David Maher, Senior Vice President, Law and Policy at PIR has
published his
memoirs of the early day attempts to revamp the internet's domain
name system,
which he has entitled Reporting to God. Ten years later, it appears
that decisions
surrounding the DNS remain as equally controversial as in the
mid-1990's.
The Dave Maher memoirs are at
