Ira Magaziner, Senior Policy Advisor and Chief Internet Policy Advisor to President Bill Clinton (1993-1998). He led a group of experts to examine the situation of the internet during the late 1990’s. He drafted the report, A Framework for Global Electronic Commerce, which was released by President Clinton on July 1, 1998. Magaziner’s framework paved the way to the creation of the Green Paper, which was followed by the White Paper, which called for the establishment of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names of Numbers, an independent and international non-government corporation that took over the technical management of the Domain Name System (DNS) of the Internet.

My story begins in ancient times when dinosaurs ruled the earth. It was a time when you could download a movie onto your desktop computer through your 56k dial-up connection if you had a few days. It was a time when more people were on the Minitel in France than on the Internet globally and when the Republic of Korea could fit all of its internet users into one small hotel room. I know because I met them all in that room. more
