Rick has over 25 years of Internet experience as engineer, entrepreneur, and policy expert. Currently responsible for DNSSEC efforts at ICANN, Rick was the technical and policy architect for ICANN's root DNSSEC deployment and is a driving force behind DNSSEC's deployment as a cross-organizational, transnational platform for Internet security innovation and opportunity. Prior to this he was Director of Global IT policy at the US Department of State where he worked to bridge technology and policy across a wide range of agencies and issues. Before this he founded a number of small networking startups, the last being acquired by Microsoft. His years in the networking field have included implementation and commercialization of a wide range of communication protocols (UUCP, MEP2, BiSYNC, SDLC, X.25, DECNET, Q.921/931, H.323, IPX, TCP/IP). Rick received a PhD from MIT in 1987. He still misses the art of building radio circuitry which he has been doing since he was 10.
