"The Internet Worm", SHARE, 1989 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.
