The Hall of Fame class of 2019 includes 11 Internet leaders who were selected because of their impact, influence, innovation and the reach of their contributions. They were chosen for this honor by an Internet Hall of Fame Advisory Board after an open nominations period. Eight of the inductees were present in-person for the ceremony.
The continual advancement of the Internet is made possible by thousands of individuals. Those inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame have had some significant impact on the advancement of the Internet; many have been leaders in the ongoing development of the Internet and many continue to contribute.
The organization first focused on data that informed the technical community, but CAIDA now also examines the economic and policy context that defines the Internet ecosystem. This includes analysis of attributes of the Internet related to infrastructure security and stability, the mutual interdependence of architecture and policy, and the ethics of information technology research.
In addition, Comer has taught Internet principles, protocols, and architecture to thousands of engineers and IT staff. He also pioneered the use of tunneling, now widely used to send IP over a high-level protocol, and created an early network that supplied Internet connections years before the availability of ISPs (Internet Service Providers), the National Science Foundation backbone (NSFNET) and regional networks.
In 1996, she began working for Excite@Home Network, one of the earliest high-speed cable ISPs, where she led the rollout of the first Internet-over-Cable infrastructure for more than 20 cable providers, sparking widespread high-speed network access in U.S., Canada, Europe and Japan.
In 2010, Gerich assumed responsibility for the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) function at ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), an iconic role once held by the legendary Jon Postel.
In the 1970s, as director of computing facilities at SRI International, Lynch ran the data center where the second ARPANET node was located. While there, he performed initial development of the TCP/IP protocols in conjunction with Bolt, Beranek and Newman.
During this period, while serving on the Internet Activities Board (now the Internet Architecture Board), he launched an effort to track TCP/IP implementation on the ARPANET, which significantly propelled U.S. TCP/IP adoption and ultimately enabled the launch of the Internet, on January 1, 1983.
It was at INTEROP where the first router vendors demonstrated product TCP/IP functionality and interoperability. The first computer makers followed suit, and INTEROP spread to Europe and Asia, giving the Internet even greater global visibility.
By 1992, recognizing the potential impact of free public Internet access, Polly connected her computer lab to the nascent network, establishing one of the earliest instances of public access Internet and launching a movement to include Internet as a core library service.
She then co-founded PUBLIB, the first online listserv for public librarians worldwide to discuss Internet policy, pitfalls, use and opportunities associated with public libraries. She challenged librarians to shift their views of the Internet from threat to resource, and encouraged them to become active in shaping its evolution and reach.
She found many ways to share her knowledge with the broader public as well. In 1992, she wrote and published one of the first free, nontechnical public guides to the Internet, Surfing the Internet (Polly is often credited with coining the phrase). The guide became one of the most-respected resources on Internet use of its time.
In 1987, as chair of the computer science department at the Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC/RJ), Stanton convened Brazilian researchers in computing, science and engineering, government officials and the state-owned telecommunications provider to discuss building a single national research network with access to the outside world.
In 1989, the government acted on the resulting prompts by launching a project to build the National Research Network, or RNP (now the National Education and Research Network), and in 1990 Stanton joined the coordination team that would ultimately bring the Internet to Brazil in 1992.
Stanton left RNP in 1993 to continue his work developing academic networks, including the optical metro network at the Fluminense Federal University in Niteri, RJ (UFF), but rejoined RNP in 2001 as director of innovation. In this role, he headed the team fostering the development of new application services and became active in designing and developing new networks, both for RNP in Brazil and for its international partners.
Among other projects, Stanton participated in the design, deployment and management of the RedCLARA regional network in Latin America, fostered since 2003 by the European Union, he helped the National Science Foundation link Brazil to the U.S. through its International Research Network Connections program, and he helped inspire the Amazon Connected program, which uses subfluvial cables in the rivers of the Amazon Basin to bring high-performance Internet to many Brazilians who previously lacked access.
He has also played a leading role in projects to build large-scale network testbeds, for exploring optical technologies (2003-2008) and also, beginning in 2011, to carry out research and development into the future of the Internet within Brazil and in concert with international partners.
Wierenga, who currently serves as chief community support officer at GANT, is the co-author of Building the Mobile Internet (Cisco Press, 2011) and Wireless Networking in the Developing World (2013), as well as three RFCs. He also holds five U.S. patents.
Yamaguchi was a founding member of the WIDE (Widely Integrated Distributed Environment) Project, which has been fostering network research and development activity since it established the first Japanese Internet backbone in 1988.
Through AI3, he helped build a satellite Internetwork for research and education communities in 13 Asia-Pacific countries, enabling greater academic collaboration and further development of the Internet in the region.
He also led the founding of APCERT (Asia Pacific Emergency Response Team), a regional forum for cooperation of CSIRTs across Asia Pacific, and played a key role in founding AfricaCERT, the African Forum of Computer Emergency Response Teams.
