Bill Woodcock (born August 16, 1971 in San Francisco, California, United States) is the executive director of Packet Clearing House,[1] the international organization responsible for providing operational support and security to critical Internet infrastructure, including Internet exchange points and the core of the domain name system; chairman of the Foundation Council of Quad9,[2] and president of WoodyNet[3] and CEO of EcoTruc and EcoRace,[4] companies developing electric vehicle technology for work and motorsport. Bill was the founder of one of the first Internet service providers in California, and in 1989 originated the anycast routing technique that is now ubiquitous in Internet content distribution networks.[5]

Activities[edit]
Woodcock was one of the two international liaisons in Estonia during the computer attacks unleashed after the Bronze Soldier of Tallinn incident and assisted in the defense coordinated by Hillar Aarelaid and the CERT-EE.[16][17][18]
In the wake of the ITU's December 2012 World Conference on International Telecommunications, which he characterized as an attempted take-over of the institutions of Internet governance, Woodcock published a number of secret ITU budget documents and acted as point-person in an effort to redirect USD 11M in U.S. government funds from ITU contributions to support of the multistakeholder model of Internet governance.[19] This effort centered on a "We the People" petition and an explanatory web site,[20] and received much favorable attention in the press and Internet governance community.[21]
Books and writings[edit]
Woodcock's published work includes many PCH white-papers,[22] the 1993 McGraw-Hill book Networking the Macintosh,[23] the report of the ANF AppleTalk Tunneling Architectures Working Group, which he chaired in 1993 and 1994, many articles in Network World, MacWorld, MacWEEK, Connections, and other networking journals and periodicals.[24] In addition, he was principal author of the Multicast DNS, IP Anycast, and Operator Requirements of Infrastructure Management Methods IETF drafts. In the early 1990s, he pioneered IGP and EGP-based topological load-balancing techniques using IP Anycast technology. Together with Mark Kosters he proposed at the 1996 Montreal IEPG that the root DNS servers be migrated to IP Anycast, and their work has provided the basis upon which root DNS servers have been deployed since the late 1990s.[25]
In 2010 and 2011, with Rick Lamb, who had previously built the signing system that places DNSSEC cryptographic signatures on the DNS root zone, Woodcock built the first global-scale FIPS 140-2 Level 4 DNSSEC dnssec signing infrastructure, with locations in Singapore, Zurich, and San Jose.[26][27][28][29] In addition to protocol development work, Woodcock has developed networking products for Cisco, Agilent, and Farallon.

While Woodcock was troubleshooting Ethernet networks at Farallon, the Internet was starting to take off, and Woodcock got on board. He put modem banks and servers in his basement and started a business doing e-mail forwarding for corporations, billing them monthly. “I remember the first month, I made 50 bucks,” Woodcock recalls. “I was happy about that.” He named his little Internet company Zocalo, a pun in Spanish, meaning both “marketplace” and “wall jack.” In the fall of 1989, Woodcock started college at the University of California at Santa Cruz; Zocalo, then a stack of hardware that fit on a desk, moved to his dorm room.

At 10 pm on Tuesday, May 8, Lindqvist, Fältström, and Woodcock arrived at the downtown Tallinn office building that housed CERT headquarters. It was a geek dream team, with the attitude to match. Woodcock, who had spent years traveling through Europe, Africa, and Asia helping to set up Internet infrastructures, sauntered into the operations center wearing bison-skin boots handcrafted for him in Montana. Woodcock hoisted his laptop into the air. He called Aarelaid and Lindqvist over, took a picture with the built-in camera, and sent it out to the network to prove to the Vetted that Aarelaid was for real... As Aarelaid identified a specific address, Woodcock and Lindqvist sent rapid-fire emails to network operators throughout the world asking for the IP to be blocked at the source. One by one, they picked off the bots, and by dawn they had deflected the attackers. "I was very, very lucky that Kurtis, Patrik, and Bill were here," Aarelaid says.

Three world-renowned IT experts were visiting Estonia, and they assisted the Estonian Computer Emergency Response Team with defenses against ping attacks, botnets, and hackers. The experts were Kurtis Lindqvist, Patrik Fältström, and Bill Woodcock, research director of Packet Clearing House and member of the board of directors of the American Registry of Internet Numbers.
