RE: [gnso-irtp-pdp-jun08] Statements of Interest for IRTP A PDP Jun08

["Steele, Barbara" <BSteele@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Glen,
Here is my statement of interest.  Thank you.

Barbara Steele - Statement of Interest for August 2008

I am Senior Manager of Policy and the Compliance Officer for VeriSign, Inc. 
VeriSign is the registry operator for the .com and the .net gTLDs and also 
provides backend registry services in support of Global Name Registry for the 
.name gTLD and Employ Media for the .jobs gTLD. VeriSign is also the registry 
operator for two ccTLDs, .cc for the Cocos and Keelings Islands and .tv for 
Tuvalu. 

As an employee who supports VeriSign's naming services business, I often have 
access to registry sensitive information including information about 
registrars. Specific responsibilities include managing the team that is 
responsible for processing level 1 disputes filed by ICANN accredited 
registrars under the Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy.  With regard to both 
our gTLD and ccTLD registration services businesses, as well as other VeriSign 
businesses, our customers and business associates have interests in various 
ICANN policy issues and may be members of other GNSO constituencies and/or 
supporting organizations. 

In addition to Registry Agreements with ICANN for .com and .net, VeriSign also 
has obligations to the U.S. Department of Commerce through a cooperative 
agreement that was initiated in 1993 and has been amended many times since 
then. Those obligations include providing the A and J root servers as well as 
support to ICANN in implementing changes in the root zone file. As such, 
VeriSign is a member of the DNS Root Server System Advisory Committee and also 
works closely with IANA staff in the processing of root zone changes. 

VeriSign is a member of the gTLD Registry Constituency(RyC).  I will be 
representing the views of the RyC, as applicable, not my own or VeriSign's. In 
that regard, I will endeavor to always qualify any personal statements as such 
and will follow-up with the RyC to obtain their position. 

I own shares of VeriSign stock, hold options to purchase additional shares, and 
have restricted stock units (RSUs) that will vest over time.  However, the 
number of shares I currently own, plus the potential shares I could possibly 
own if I exercised all options, is diminutive relative to the total number of 
VeriSign shares.

Please be guided by the Statements of interest below:

Paul Diaz - Statement of Interest for August 2008

I am a full-time employee of Network Solutions LLC, an ICANN-accredited 
registrar offering gTLD and ccTLD domain name registration and Web presence 
services to our small business customers.  Network Solutions also has two 
affiliated, ICANN-accredited registrars, NameSecure L.L.C.
and TLDS L.L.C d/b/a SRSplus.  I currently serve as the Policy & Ethics 
Manager.  My daily responsibilities include handling ICANN-related issues, 
corporate advocacy at the local, state and federal levels, and administering 
Network Solutions' business ethics program.

Network Solutions is a member of the GNSO Registrar Constituency, a voting 
stakeholder on the GNSO Council.  Network Solutions also is a member of the 
United States Council for International Business (USCIB).
The USCIB is a member of the Commercial and Business Users Constituency, also a 
voting stakeholder on the GNSO Council.  Our primary interest in the USCIB is 
the DNS and Internet Identifiers Working Group.

I have no ownership interest in Network Solutions or its affiliated registrars, 
nor in any current registry operator.  I am not in possession of any registry 
sensitive or proprietary information.  To the best of my knowledge, I have no 
ownership interest in any entity that currently has business before the GNSO or 
ICANN.

James Bladel - SOI  for Aug 2008:

I am a full-time employee of GoDaddy.com, Inc., which is a business unit of The 
Go Daddy Group, Inc. family of ICANN-accredited registrars.  GoDaddy.com is a 
member of the GNSO Registrars Constituency, and conducts business with numerous 
gTLD and ccTLD registries.

In my position with GoDaddy.com my focus is the development and promotion of 
registrar-related business, products, and services.

I am not employed by, nor involved with, any other business or organization in 
any other ICANN Constituency, Supporting Organization, or Advisory Committee.


If you are a member of another working group and would like to use the same 
statement of interest, please let me know <gnso.secretariat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> as 
soon as possible.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
Kind regards,

Glen
