I created this video (and trailer) as the introduction to the Oxford Internet Institute event “What’s in a name? The History and Future of the Domain Name System”, which took place at The Royal Society in London on 28 January 2008.

Focused on the history and future of the Internet Domain Name System (DNS), the event looked back at 25 years of the DNS, the 10 years of its management under ICANN, and what the future might hold.

I thank Nico MacDonald for capturing excellent points in his report, which you can find here.
