internet contributions
[edit]An apparent quote from The New York Times Obit (03/22/23) by Cornelia Dean, below, suggests that there should be a mention of this work in the description of his career:
At the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering at the National Science Foundation, Wulf worked with then-Senator Al Gore on legislation to make the Arpanet military computer network accessible to civilian researchers. ACM said Wulf was "among a very small, distinguished group of people that made significant, core contributions to the creation of the modern Internet." AJim (talk) 18:11, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
