Lyman Chapin graduated from Cornell University in 1973 with a B.A. in
Mathematics, and spent the next two years writing COBOL applications
for Systems & Programs (NZ) Ltd. in Lower Hutt, New Zealand. After a
year travelling in Australia and Asia, he joined the newly-formed
Networking group at Data General Corporation in 1977. At DG, he was
responsible for the development of software for distributed resource
management (operating-system embedded RPC), distributed database
management, X.25-based local and wide- area networks, and OSI-based
transport, internetwork, and routing functions for DG's open-system
products. In 1987 he formed the Distributed Systems Architecture
group, and was responsible for the development of DG's Distributed
Application Architecture (DAA) and for the specification of the
directory and management services of DAA. He moved to Bolt Beranek
and Newman in 1990 as the Chief Network Architect in BBN's
Communications Division and later as a Chief Scientist in the Systems
and Technologies Division, where he works as a consultant to BBN's
research and product development groups and to clients of its Network
Consulting organization. He also oversees and contributes to BBN's
open system standards activities. He currently serves as chairman of
ANSI-accredited task group X3S3.3, responsible for Network and
Transport layer standards; as chairman of the ACM Special Interest
Group on Data Communication (SIGCOMM); as a member of the Board of
Trustees of the Internet Society; and as the Internet Standards and
Procedures area director of the Internet Engineering Steering Group
(IESG). He is the co-author of Open Systems Networking - TCP/IP and
OSI, which was published in 1993 by Addison-Wesley. He lives with his
wife and two young daughters in Hopkinton, Massachusetts (USA).
I have served as a Trustee of the Internet Society since its inception,
and am strongly committed to the success of the Society as the international
focal point for the technical and organizational evolution of the Internet.
I am particularly interested in the establishment of the Society as the
organization with ultimate responsibility for the procedures and administrative
structures that govern the Internet Standards process.
