Glen, here's the statement as requested.


Michael Young, Vice-President of Product Development, Afilias


I manage the full life cycle of all products at Afilias ensuring their
standards in quality, delivery and market viability across all functional
areas. Additionally, I support Afilias in some policy and community work. 

I am a member of the executive management team of Afilias. Afilias has a
registry agreement for .Info with ICANN. Afilias also has both other
registries and registrars as customers and as such, I am exposed to
information about sensitive registry business as it relates to Afilias. Our
customers may have interests in a number of ICANN policy issues and could be
members of other GNSO constituencies and/or supporting organizations. I am
also a voting representative for Afilias in the Registry
Constituency/Registry Stakeholders Group.  I do hold shares and options in
that company.  My ownership or potential ownership through options does not
exceed 10% of Afilias and therefore I am not a controlling shareholder.


Best Regards,

Michael Young

Vice-President,
Product Development
Afilias

Members:
Olga Cavalli - Nominating Committee Appointee - Interim Chair
============================
SOI http://gnso.icann.org/council/soi/cavalli-soi-20nov07.shtml

Chuck Gomes - gTLD Registries Constituency
==========================================
5 February 2009

I am Vice President of Policy and Compliance for VeriSign, Inc.  VeriSign is

the registry operator for the .com, .net and .name gTLDs and also provides 
backend registry services in support of 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 do often 
have access to Registry Sensitive information including information about 
registrars.  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.

As a representative elected to the GNSO Council by the unsponsored gTLD 
registry members of the gTLD Registry Constituency (RyC), I am required by
the 
Constituency's Articles of Operation to represent the views of those members

and the full Constituency 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 and hold options to purchase additional
shares, 
but the amount of shares I currently own plus the potential shares I could 
possibly own if I exercised all options is a miniscule number relative to
the 
total number of VeriSign shares.

I am a Sales Executive for Iron Mountain Intellectual Property Management

Agent to provide Registrar Data Escrow and Registrar Data Escrow Audit
Services.  Additionally, IMIPM is contracted with several gTLD registries,
with ICANN listed as a beneficiary, to provide Registry Data Escrow Services

I am representing no other party with regard to my work with the OSC. I am
not an officer, director, consultant or employee of any other member of this
constituency or any other ICANN constituency.

While I own a small amount of Iron Mountain stock, I do not have significant
stock ownership nor am I senior leader of the firm.

Karmania 
Technology Inc, a software development company located in Iran, but have 
personal interests in Domain Names Area and ICANN related topics.
I am also a member of the Advisory Council of Public Interest Registry
(.ORG)
Participating in global activities in Domain Name Industry and Internet 
Governance is my point of interest and due to my 7 year experience in IT
field, 
and also my academic knowledge, I believe that there might be several
aspects 
of internet related activities which are still not noted by constituencies.

Interest/Reason  is specifically indicated above in first paragraph.
