- Candidate's Comments
- --------------------
-
- I've been involved in using and worrying about who can use the Internet
- ever since first getting an account on the ARPANET node HARV-10 in 1971 or
- 72. I fought many a battle trying to figure out how to expand the access
- to the network over the years. Starting from running various illicit uucp
- and BITNET gateways in the late 70s to finally being able to open up the
- access to all Harvard students, at least for email, in '85 with the
- CSNET/ARPANET agreement. This interest and work continued in the 2nd half
- of the 80s with the connection of the then embryonic NSFNET to Harvard and
- the extension of the access via a "real" campus net (a big step up from the
- serial IP lines that had been in use).
-
- The most recent manifestation of this interest was the founding of the New
- England Academic and Research Network (NEARnet). A key desire of the
- founders has always been to do whatever can be done, consistent with good
- business management, to extend the availability of Internet connectivity to
- the most general audience .
-
- I see this as a key concern of the ISOC. How can we enfranchise the
- greater community? How can we extend the access to the resources to the
- less affluent schools and K12? To the small business & entrepreneurial
- individuals? How can we extend to the, as yet, largely unserved
- international arena?
-
- The issues of the relationships between the IAB, IETF and the ISOC must be
- addressed keeping the goal of reliable, secure, and affordable
- interconnectivity in mind. If elected I will work to ensure that these
- priorities are kept.
