Johan |
Johan
Ihren started out at the Royal Institute
of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, in
the field of scientific visualization
and virtual reality. But eventually he
came to realize that DNS was probably
the most intresting alternate reality
there was.
Johan
joined Autonomica when it was founded
in 2000, and has been engaged in DNS full-time
ever since. At Autonomica he is one of
the people responsible for i.root-servers.net,
including its world-wide anycast rollout.
He has also spent considerable time on
various conference circuits like IETF
and RIPE, and is dragging a long tail
of Internet-Drafts and some RFCs along
as scars from that activity. Johan is
member of various committees like RSSAC
(the Root Server System Advisory Council)
and SSAC (the Security and Stability Advisory
Council)
Outside
of Autonomica, Johan has been active in
the DNS training and consulting area since
the mid nineties, both in Sweden but also
internationally. He has so far taught
DNS at all levels on four different continents.

Technology Industry Liaison, NeuLevel/NeuStar
Edward
Lewis has travelled far and wide, worked
long and hard to bring the DNS Security
Extensions into reality. Beginning with
implementing the first zone signer, he
has spent considerable time working within
the IETF, conducting workshops and training
sessions on DNS and DNSSEC, including
activities in the Asia-Pacific region
at APRICOT conferences from 2001 to 2006
and KRNIC in 2004.
Currently
he is employed by NeuStar/NeuLevel to
perform liaison activities between internal
registry operations and external organizations.
Prior to joining NeuStar/NeuLevel he worked
for the American Registry for Internet
Numbers (ARIN), Network Associates, Trusted
Information Systems, the University of
Maryland-Baltimore County, and the U.S.

Bill Manning |
William
Manning was a contributing scientist on
Neustar's UltraDNS, and serves on the
research staff at USC's Information Sciences
Institute. His primary technical interests
have been in network operations and naming
systems.
At
Texas Instruments, Bill was responsible
for the deployment of IP networking first
in the Semiconductor division and then
throughout the corporation. He then joined
Rice University to become the lead engineer
for the NSFnet's SESQUINET regional network.
Based on his responsibility and performance
in handling the migration of SESQUINET
and MIDnet from the NSFnet to commercial
networks, he was asked to assume a role
in the NSFs Routing Arbitor project at
ISI.
He
is active in the IETF, and has been active
in the DNS and Routing working groups
as an active participant, working group
chair and code developer. Bill was responsible
for specifying the method for adding NSAP
support to the DNS, and then developed
and implemented a plan to expand the Internet
root server system to add four new nodes
... J, K, L, and M.
He
continues to work on enhancing DNS code
to track the growth of IP networks. He
is also worked with the IPv6 developers
and implementers by managing the IP6.INT
domain, which was the functional equivalent
of the in-addr.arpa zone. He is currently
managing projects to add integrity and
authenticity checks to the DNS resolver
and to automate DNS delegation changes.
EP.NET
operates the "B" root nameserver
and runs the RS.NET root server testbed.
