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, 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 intendShow full document text
