Dan York
Senior Advisor at Internet Society
I serve the Internet Society as a Senior Advisor focusing on helping explain the changes happening to the Internet and how we use it. Starting in September 2024 my work involves assisting our CEO with communications, documenting Internet shutdowns, assisting with our Amicus project, and exploring how we make the Internet more resilient. Previously, I led our 2023 Sustainable Technical Communities project, our 2022 Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite project and our 2020 Open Standards Everywhere (OSE) project. I was also active within the DNS and real-time communications areas of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Since the mid-1980s I have been working with online communication technologies and helping businesses and organizations understand how to use and participate in these new media. An author of multiple books on networking, security, IPv6, and Linux, I frequently present at industry conferences and events. I have been blogging and writing online for over 20 years and podcasting for over 15 years. I am a strong advocate for the open Internet focused on helping people understand the changes going on all around us within communication technology and practices. Source
