It is with a heavy heart that I must relate the news that Don Smith, formerly of CenturyLink and more lately of Netscout Arbor, passed away in his sleep last night.

Thanks again for this Roland. We have lost one of the giants of the Internet security community. So much of what he did was behind the scenes and without fanfare. From his exceedingly thorough testing of vendor gear to his contributions in the standards community to his ongoing efforts to thwart Internet badness and for me personally his assistance in helping develop various solutions. He was an important and exceptionally helpful partner when we were first developing and rolling out UTRS at Team Cymru. He will be missed. John
