RE: [gnso-osc-csg] Qualifications for Chair & Vice Chair

["Papac, Krista" <Krista.Papac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

 

Thanks everyone for being patient while I was away from the office.  We 
definitely have a group of very talented and qualified candidates.  Below is a 
review of my background and qualifications for Chair.

 

Background and qualifications:

 

For the past eight years I've been involved in the domain name community 
working for registrars as a strategic consultant to their corporate clients.  
My client base includes a diverse group of industries and ranges in size from 
small Internet start-ups to enterprises as large as the top of the Fortune 500. 
I have worked with registrars of various sizes as well, including VeriSign 
(when it owned a registrar), Net Searchers, Mark Monitor and, now, Iron 
Mountain.  

 

My primary role has been in business development and sales, positions that 
require effective communications and development of collaborative relationships 
with partners, clients, internal support functions and executive management.

 

In addition to that role, I've been responsible for project management and 
operational leadership for a number of functions.  These include:

 

 

§         Managing large (11,000+) ccTLD registration efforts for the 
protection of client brands and intellectual property.  I supervised a team 
comprised of client services, operations, IT, sales, management, and finance.

§         Managing an RFP response team for Iron Mountain's interest in ICANN's 
Registrar Data Escrow (RDE) program.  This team included sales, enterprise 
operations, client services, IT, engineering, legal, finance, product 
management, executive management, and corporate communications.

§         Supervised a comprehensive program of RDE adoption for 900+ 
registrars around the globe.  This involved education of RDE requirements and 
options, executing and processing individual contracts for each registrar, and 
managing the on-boarding process.  This team included inside sales, enterprise 
operations, client services, finance, marketing, and corporate communications.

§         Led a team that negotiated and designed RDE Audit product - a complex 
tool which compares random samples of escrowed whois data to online whois 
records.  This team was comprised of sales, enterprise operations, client 
services, IT, engineering, legal, finance, product management, executive 
management, and marketing.

§         Separate from the industry, I also led a team of MBA volunteer 
students on a consulting project, handling a market feasibility study for a 
non-profit

§         Finally, I am Co-Chair of the University of Southern California 
"Executive of the Future" program

 

Additional operational experience before joining the domain name industry 
includes:

 

§         Insurance underwriting and personal asset protection

§         Financial Controller and General Manager at an infrastructure 
contracting company

§         Payroll and Financial Account Management

§         And most important - a baby photographer

 

My core skills include organization, project management, relationship building, 
understanding the big picture and how to move things forward, negotiation, and 
resource acquisition.  I believe these skills would compliment and serve the 
group's efforts.

 

Thank you for the opportunity to provide this statement.  I hope it's been 
useful in evaluating my qualifications, and I'm looking forward to working with 
the team.

 

Kind regards,

Krista

Subject: [gnso-osc-csg] Qualifications for Chair & Vice Chair

 

I appreciate the bios that all of the candidates for chair and vice chair have 
sent to the list.  They provide helpful background information on each of what 
I think are now five candidates, but in some cases it does not provide me any 
information on whether the candidates would be effective chairs and/or vice 
chairs.   In Olga's case, I have been able to observe her in action, but for 
most of the others, that is not the case.

 

I would appreciate it if each candidate would provide some information about 
what you believe the most important qualities of a chair/vice-chair and list 
some experiences you have had in that regard.

 

Chuck
