Subject: [bc-gnso] New member, introducing myself
Hello BC members,
As the firm I represent is now officially a BC member, and as I am its voting
representative, I wanted to thank this group for welcoming me and introduce my
firm and myself.
STEPHANE VAN GELDER CONSULTING (SVGC) was set up to leverage my experience as a
professional journalist, a seasoned member of the domain industry and an
entrepreneur.
SVGC is a UK-based company operating in both England and France. It has clients
in the UK, France, the US, Asia and the Arab countries. It provides consultancy
in a number of areas, including:
* setting up companies in France,
* managing Internet-based projects,
* developing clients' online presence and strategy (including domain name
related strategies and social media related strategies),
* lobbying,
* working and interacting with governments and governmental authorities,
* interfacing with registries and registrars,
* drafting targeted media content,
* understanding Internet governance,
* conducting business reviews.
I am the company's founder and chairman. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in
computer science. I studied at university in England. I am fully bilingual and
bicultural in English and French.
My first career was in journalism, where I worked as a print and TV journalist
for more than 10 years.
I then cofounded a corporate registrar in France called INDOM, which I built up
to become France's market leader and then sold to UK-based Group NBT (now
NetNames) in 2010. I stayed with NetNames until December 2012. I left NetNames
to set up SVGC.
I have good experience of the world of Internet governance. I served as an
elected Board member for the French registry AFNIC from 2004 to 2010. I was
nominated by European registry EURid to serve on its Requirements Panel and its
Code of Conduct Council.
INDOM has been a member of the Registrar Stakeholder Group since 2007 and I
have been a member of that group's Executive Committee since 2008, when I was
elected treasurer. In 2009 I was elected GNSO Council rep and nominated to be
the CPH's Vice Chair in 2010. I was elected Chair of the GNSO Council in 2011
and again in 2012.
I currently sit on the NomCom as the RrSG's rep there. I have already informed
the RrSG Excom that I am now a BC member and that once my current NomCom term
ends in Q3 this year, I will no longer seek to represent the RrSG in any
position.
I am delighted to be a member of the BC and look forward to meeting as many of
you as possible in the months to come, either in person or via this list.
I will be attending the INTA meeting in Dallas next week, so if any BC members
are around, it would be a pleasure to meet you.
Thanks for reading and sorry for this long first email to the BC list ;)
Best,
Stéphane Van Gelder
