I had completely lost track of him in the past decade, but he was one of the most memorable people I ever met through the IETF. We met first at IETF 37 I think, in San Jose, and kept reconnecting at meetings for the next few years, and sharing music and book recommendations in between. At IETF 40 he joined me and a few friends on a trip out of town to a concert. I wish I remembered more of the stories he told - I remember re-telling them to other people often, back in the 1990s, but only remember a few now. If I recall correctly, in addition to his leadership in promoting encryption on the Internet, he also had a mission to make Internet access available all over the western US, and started a number of local and regional ISPs in the 90s in pursuit of this goal. -- Cos
