Vinton G. Cerf is a VP at Google Inc. and the company's chief Internet evangelist. He's better known as the co-designer of TCP/IP, one of the fundamental protocols of the Internet.

When he's not working with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to extend the Internet into outer space, he may be serving as the chairman of the board of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Numbers and Names (ICANN), which oversees the the Domain Name System (DNS) and the network architecture Cerf helped invent.

In this podcast, Cerf talks about Internet governance, alternate roots, and software as a service.
