Since 2001, Edward Lewis has been present at all but one APRICOT conference to help present DNS workshops. Over the past two calendar years, he has attended both semi-annual meetings of APNIC, RIPE, and ARIN, giving him exposure to cross-RIR activities. He has also been present at APRICOT, NANOG, and the operations meetings at RIPE and ISC's OARC DNS meetings to maintain exposure to day-to-day issues. Edward Lewis is also active in the IETF with DNS. His most recent milestone was the publication of RFC 4592.
