Presentation Resources: Building a Better DNS
"The Internet needs effective, lightweight, and sensible
global
coordination in a few limited areas, allowing ample room for the
innovation
and change that makes this unique resource so useful
and valuable."
- M. Stuart Lynn, "ICANN: The Case for Reform", 2002
Overview
Presumably if you are viewing this web page, you attended my session on
"Building a Better DNS" at the recent ISP Business Expo in Dallas, Texas -
thanks for attending. As I mentioned in my presentation, the only way that
we can make the DNS better is by getting involved individually (and/or
professionally) and making things happen from within. As with all things
related to the Internet, cooperation and discourse are the immediate first
steps that we must take towards solving any problem that faces us.
I hope that you find these resources helpful. If you have any questions,
please don't hesitate to drop me a
line.
