Dear Glen,
You may like to add a few more details about me in the 'Statement of Interest'. 
These are the details I had sent you in the first mail.
-
 Internet is a very dear subject to me and I am recognized in my areas of 
operation as an Internet Expert. I have been associated with such bodies as 
Internet Society (www.isoc.org) and ICANN for a long time. I am quite active 
and aware of ICANN activities. I subscribe to its news letter and have taken 
part in surveys and opinion polls from time to time. I have tried (though 
unsuccessfully) to get selected for many of its committees as member and also 
to win fellowship for its meetings. 
                                                I have been very active in 
Internet Society (ISOC) matters. I am its Global Member since1996. I have 
played active role in formulation of its policies and programs during ISOC?s 
early years. I have been a Founder Member of its .ORG Advisory Council  for two 
terms. As a Advisory Council Member, I was Chair of its Editorial Committee for 
a term and later Vice Chair of its Outreach Committee. Had been responsible for 
formulating Policy and Programs of Public Interest Registry (www.pir.org) that 
manages .ORG domain name on behalf of ISOC. 

Presently, I am Member of ISOC?s ?Sphere Project?. The Project aims at 
formulating policies, programs and developing tools to establish and monitor 
communications among its various Chapters and also to rate their functioning. 
                                                I have Post-Graduate 
Qualifications, am a scientist, a writer and author on science and Internet 
subjects. I am known as Pioneer of Internet Journalism in India . 
                                                I have been engaged in the 
activities of Non-Profit organizations for a long time. I have time and energy 
to spare for such activities. 
                                                I am keen to be associated with 
ICANN Work Teams.

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 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.
