        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
