Dennis Jennings was voted 2007 Internet Hero by the judging panel. A true pioneer, Jennings is one of the founding fathers of the Internet. While he was involved in the US National Services Foundations during the '80s, it was his strategic decisions that led to the creation of the Internet as we know it. He is a founder of the IEDR (.ie Domain Registry) which was set up in 1992 and, most recently, was nominated to the Board of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), a position he took up in October. During the 1990s, Jennings became more and more involved in technology investments, helping to set up such companies as Baltimore Technologies, WBT and Ntera and Euristix. Jennings is recognised around the world for his combination of Internet, management and commercial experience.
