The Internet Society is working to promote the defining values of an open, globally-connected, trusted, and secure Internet for everyone. Highlights of my tenure included a complete reorganization of the staff to improve effectiveness of Internet Society projects; improvement and consolidation of charitable granting to make the process more transparent, predictable, and effective; the redesign of training and travel support programs to support future leaders; improved financial results on a key charitable marker; and significantly strengthened legal, compliance, and fundraising functions. The Internet Society President and CEO is also CEO of the Internet Society Foundation.

The IAOC oversees the IETF Administrative Director in executing the administrative functions of the IETF. I was selected by the IETF nomcom for a 2-year term starting in 2018, and selected by the rest of the IAOC as its chair. Owing to a job change, I resigned as chair in July and resigned my nomcom seat on 1 September. (The Internet Society CEO is a member ex-officio, so I remained a member that way.)

Dyn's focus is Internet performance. It offers services and research to monitor, analyze, control, and optimize your Internet-connected systems. As a Dyn Fellow, I concentrate on architecture of Internet systems; work on Internet standards, protocols, and policy; and help the Dyn technical staff with specialist problems when they come up. Dyn was acquired by Oracle in January of 2017.

The IAB is an activity of the Internet Engineering Task Force. It offers a board view of the overall Internet architecture, and it also functions as the IETF's interface to external parties. More on the IAB is available at https://www.iab.org/about/ . The chair is chosen annually by the IAB members, and performs a number of administrative functions for the board and is an ex officio member of some other IETF bodies. My tenure as chair coincided with changes to the stewardship of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority function, which meant I spent a lot of time on that file and testified before the US Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. We were ultimately successful, and the US Government is no longer implicated in IANA. During the same period, the IAB renewed its focus on programs and decentralized some of its operations to ensure the chair does not become a single point of failure. In November 2016 I announced that I would not seek another term as chair.

The IAB is an activity of the Internet Engineering Task Force. It is supposed to offer a broad view of the overall Internet architecture, and it also functions as the interface to external parties. In my first term on the IAB, I acted as the shepherd for the liaison manager to ICANN, and the program lead on the internationalization and IANA evolution programs.

DNS is the technology that founded Dyn, and it remains critical to the business. I move obstacles out of the way so that the prime technical talent at Dyn can keep improving our DNS services. From time to time, I have an opinion on how those improvements should be made.
