> Internet Architecture Board at its inception and served there for 13 years. He created the End-to-End Task Force 
> which eventually became the IRTF End-to-End Research Group, which he chaired for many years. Together with Joyce 
> Reynolds, Bob exercised careful stewardship over the RFC series after Jon Postel's passing. He was the author of over 
> 60 RFCs including the seminal series of RFCs beginning with RFC 1122, Requirements for Internet Hosts -- 
> Communication Layers.

> Bob was known for being particularly thoughtful, constructive, and calm in technical discussions. His friendly
