[gnso-ff-pdp-may08] Statement of Interest -- George Kirikos

["George Kirikos" <fastflux@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

I am the president of Leap of Faith Financial Services Inc., which is
a member of the Business Constituency of the GNSO (although, we do not
speak for the BC in this workgroup). My company owns and develops a
number of domain names and websites used by millions of users from all
over the world every year. My personal background is in economics and
finance.

We are also a Registration Service Provider (i.e. reseller) for
Tucows/OpenSRS for a small number of clients, although that forms a
very tiny part of our overall business.

As per Wendy Seltzer's statement of interest, who said it so well, "I am
particularly concerned that measures to combat abuse not have the
unintended consequences of inhibiting legitimate use of network
resources or burdening neutral provision of service."

I hope that we can use economics a potential tool to develop a
signature and/or a signal to differentiate between good actors and bad
actors, and thereby continue to permit high availability services that
are positive to flourish.

Sincerely,

George Kirikos
