This seemed pertinent... -----Forwarded message from RFC Editor <rfc-ed () ISI EDU>----- To: rfc-dist () rfc-editor org Subject: RFC 2468 on I REMEMBER IANA Date: Tue, 20 Oct 1998 12:19:23 -0700 From: RFC Editor <rfc-ed () ISI EDU> A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 2468: Title: I REMEMBER IANA Author(s): V. Cerf Status: Informational Date: October 1998 Mailbox: vcerf () mci net Pages: 4 Characters: 8543 Updates/Obsoletes/See Also: None I-D Tag: None URL: ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2468.txt Jon, our beloved IANA, is gone. Even as I write these words I cannot quite grasp this stark fact. We had almost lost him once before in 1991. Surely we knew he was at risk as are we all. But he had been our rock, the foundation on which our every web search and email was built, always there to mediate the random dispute, to remind us when our documentation did not do justice to its subject, to make difficult decisions with apparent ease, and to consult when careful consideration was needed. We will survive our loss and we will remember. He has left a monumental legacy for all Internauts to contemplate. Steadfast service for decades, moving when others seemed paralyzed, always finding the right course in a complex minefield of technical and sometimes political obstacles.
