15 years ago today, September 19, I joined the Internet Society to advocate for deployment of Internet standards such as IPv6, DNSSEC, and TLS. Being who I am, I wrote a long post back in 2011 about WHY I was making this change - much of which is still applicable today! Coming from several startups, I kind of expected to perhaps be at "ISOC" for a couple of years and then move on…

The Government’s proposals to prevent under 18s from creating or sharing nude images aim to address serious issues such as sextortion, grooming, and abuse.

It's funny how decisions you may make in the moment can affect the course of your life. It was the fall of 1984 and I was signing up for classes for my last semester at my high school in southern Connecticut. I had one open course slot and I had to sign up for some class. I'd completed all my required courses and could sign up for any course I wanted.

I could see them paddling hard in their boats.

The surveillance company announced it's making a tool called "Audit Assistance" mandatory for all customers, claiming it's already helped catch abuse. But the company has yet to explain how the tool w...

How many satellites are currently planned for low Earth orbit (LEO)? 10,000? 100,000? 500,000? 1,000,000? 10,000,000? The answer is higher than you might expect in terms of filings with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU)... the real question is: how many will actually launch into orbit? I gave a presentation about all of this at the SPACE Research Group session at the recent IETF 126 meeting in Vienna.

Ted Hardie, chair of the Internet Society Board of Trustees, shared a farewell message with Internet Society staff.

What does the future of the Internet look like? What do we need to do differently? What could we do to bring about the Internet we want? What should we be concerned about with, for instance, the massive investment in AI infrastructure? Those are all questions that I've been focused on for years (well, except the last one... that's new), and I always seek out many other viewpoints as I ponder my own.
