I am honored that you have taken the time to make this correction in my blog entry. Standardization champions, as well as implementors, all deserve to get credit for this endeavor. However, I also personally feel that your getting mentioned in this NetworkWorld article brings honor to all these people. We have seen a lot of top 10 influential people in networking lists. Rarely, do I see ISO-OSI mentioned. Maybe they can't credit the entire team. But, at least, they can start with one. My sincerest apologies for the unexpected change in gender.

Your extract is slightly inaccurate. A large number of very smart people lent their expertise to the creation the the OSI reference model and the protocol specifications that came out of that effort. All I did (along with a number of other 'user' companies) was champion the use of network standards in order to achieve our vision: a global network capable of connecting all intelligent devices. In addtion, I happen to be a female. Re: Laurie Bride, the father of what later came to become ISO-OSI.
