New Episode of Internet Innovators!*Crocker Reveals a Behind-the-Scenes Look at Internet History*
Steve Crocker is known as the man who wrote the instructions for the Internet - in his twenties. But at one time, he was just a young graduate student trying to solve a set of problems. "We knew we didn't know all the answers - we were not going to design a complete system, we were going to design a toolkit," Crocker said of the "informal group" which included life-long friend Vint Cerf and other now-famous Internet pioneers. In fact, Crocker said when he was given the "clerical task" of writing down what they were doing, he had many a sleepless night. "I was fearful the mere act of writing down what we were thinking about might trigger a backlash," he continued. "No one had chartered us, we had no authority. I was afraid it might seem like we were being presumptuous - like we were insisting that we were in charge. It caused a number of sleepless nights," he said. *Watch the full interview NOW on NANOG TV.* *WATCH NOW <https://www.nanog.org/news-stories/nanog-tv/internet-innovators/steve-crocker-internet-innovators/>* *NANOG 84 Agenda is Live * *Save the date! * Coordinate your calendars now, so you are sure not to miss out on any of the incredible upcoming talks and social hours offered virtually + in-person!
