[ih] DNS origins?

[Barbara Denny]

 I should mention the meeting could have also been the first meeting of SURAN, the follow on project to packet radio in case anyone tries to locate meeting minutes.  I don't remember exactly when packet radio ended and SURAN began.

  I remember thoughts about DNS were  developed enough by summer of 1983 that  I was asked to prepare a talk about DNS and packet radio at what I believe was the last packet radio meeting.  Unfortunately I don't remember what I used to learn about DNS so I could prepare my thoughts. I remember this is where I met Jon Postel but I don't remember if Paul Mockepetris was there.

 Yes, at UC Berkeley Computer Systems Research Group, 
Douglas Terry, Mark Painter, David Riggle, and Songnian Zhou made up the initial BIND project team.  
Doug was working on his PhD and the others were working on their masters.

Paul Mockapetris would know better about Doug's contribution to DNS RFC.

RFC 833 was already written by the time I started working on DNS.
I worked on BIND and 4.3BSD Unix from 1985 - 1987 at UCB CSRG.
