Scott Bradner

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Scott Bradner is a senior figure in the area of

Internet standards.[1] Until his retirement in July 2016, he was also University Technology Security Officer at Harvard University.[2][3]

In the mid-1990s Bradner established himself an authority on developing an institution to succeed the

domain name system, but was essentially run by Jon Postel
. As one of a number of close advisers to Postel, Bradner sought to maintain "Internet self-governance"—the idea that the users of the network should decide the rules by which they would abide.

In 1996 at a conference of the Harvard Information Infrastructure Project, Bradner described two conundrums of the Internet: "Who says who makes the rules?" and "Who says who pays for what?"
