'''Eric Brunner-Williams''' worked at [[SRI]] as the manager of the ISTC Computer Facility on the 3rd floor of the E Building of the Menlo Park campus during the period when the [[NIC]] was at SRI (Jake Feinler's and later Jose Garcia Luna's shop, 2nd floor, E Building).

He had this responsibility prior to the transition from host tables to [[DNS]] zone files. | |||
Subsequently | Subsequently, he was accidentally involved, as a note-taker, in the initial "shared registry" model at [[IETF]]-49 (San Diego, December 2000), which posited a "shared" (partitioned) model for what we subsequently refer to as the "registry function", and was indifferent on what we subsequently refer to as the "registrar function". When [[ICANN]] implemented its "transition from monopoly to competitive" program, the legacy monopoly integrated registry-registrar (NetSol, now VGRS), he insisted on putting "competition" in the "registrar function," retaining monopoly in the "registrar function," for .com/.net/.org. In the same time frame he was involved through the [[IETF]] in the IAHC-MoU activity, which also came to naught as Ira Magaziner selected Esther Dyson's proposal to form "the New Entity". | ||
