Andrew Sullivan is the president and CEO of the Internet Society, a leading advocacy organization for an open and free Internet. He has dedicated much of his career to Internet architecture and standards, serving as chair of the Internet Architecture Board in 2015 and 2016.

Our conversation centers around the many facets of the Internet. What is the nature of the internet? How is it distinct from the web? Who holds power on the internet? We also talk about the domain name system, emergent properties, important challenges, global accessibility, and the future of the internet.
