In 1996, he joined the North Carolina Research and Education Network (NCREN, formerly CONCERT), where he was the NCREN hostmaster for over a decade. He was a lead member of the team that transitioned all 115 of North Carolina's K12 school districts to NCREN, and also served as NCREN's Designated Member Representative to ARIN.

Agenda: The Domain Name System (DNS) is a distributed database which maps domain names to IP addresses, and a core piece of Internet functionality. We’ll take a look at the history of the DNS, the original design, how it works, and how things have changed over the years.
