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). I was hired by Don Cone.

He had this responsibility prior to the transition from host tables to DNS zone files.
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".
