        I believe that most of us have had leadership roles, have chaired
meetings, lead projects and that should be ok for the present job too.

        AS for as I am concerned, some details below may interest the
members.
        -
        Chair or vice-chair in my opinion is a leadership role and person
should be able to carry the team members together by establishing and
creating a good communication. He/she should be able to communicate his/her
viewpoints effectively and able to appreciate other's viewpoint. Should have
enough time and energy to spare for the work.
        --
        I was Chair of Editorial Group of .ORG Advisory Council
(www.pir.org) for a term in the very first year of PIR and did commendable
work in establishing procedures and creating background for future work
through online and face to face meetings and harnessing the talent of group
members. Later, I was Vice Chair of Policy and Outreach Group for a term and
helped the chair or led the group in chair's absence. A wealth of
information about me is available in Google search by entering name as: "S.
S. Kshatriy" (please note the absence of a after y in name.
        -
        I also played leadership roles in my non-com work with professional
bodies.
        I was Founder Secretary of Karnataka chapter of Indo-French
Technical Association and organised the chapter and its activities for
future work. Prior to that, the Association was centered only at Mumbai and
Karnataka was the first chapter organised in a full State. The work required
leading a group of professionals to organise the Chapter activities such as
Seminars, Workshops, meetings and visits.
        --
        I was joint secretary of Karnataka Center of The Institution of
Engineers (India) for 4 years and Chair of its Production Engineering
Division for 8 years. It will be too lenghty to elaborate the work. The
Institution of Engineers is a body of about 80,000 professionals as Fellows
and Members plus others like Associates and Students.
        --
        In my professional work in Space Research and other laboratories, I
have organised/created Departments and Projects and managed them.

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


        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

        Krista Papac

        Michael Young

        Michael Young is a member of the founding management team at
Afilias. Since 2001, he has played a key role building registry services
around the world for over 10% of the internet. As well as a significant
contributor and participant in IETF working groups and ISOC supported
initiatives, Mr. Young directly assembled and lead the technology teams that
launched the first of the "new" gTLDs, ".Info" and introduced real-time DNS
propagation to the gTLD marketplace .   A patented inventor of Internet
Registry technologies, Mr. Young has over 20 years of project management
experience leading diverse and senior resource groups in multi-faceted,
multi-million dollar projects.

        At Afilias Mr. Young's role as head of product development is to set
and implement consistent and successful life cycles from cradle to market
for all products. This includes building business cases as well as ensuring
standards in quality, delivery and market viability across numerous
functional areas such as operations, engineering, business development,
marketing and sales. Additionally, Mr. Young's role includes voting
representation of Afilias in the Registry Constituency at ICANN.

        Prior to joining Afilias, Mr. Young's IT career has been
concentrated in systems operations and software development management,
specializing in 24/7 high availability environments. Mr. Young headed up
technology operations for one of Canada's premier institutional brokerage
houses, GMP Securities. As Senior Project Manager at an Internet-based home
delivery service, GroceryGateway.com, he coordinated and engineered the
start-up of mission critical systems involving business systems,
development, quality assurance and operations.

        Mr. Young holds a BA from the University of Toronto, and an MBA from
Cornell University.
        Michael Young
        Afilias
        Vice President, Product Development
        D: 4166734109

        As noted, since all the candidates do have more than adequate
leadership experience, perhaps we should focus on what we can uniquely
contribute in the roles and what we think would be valuable.

         Firstly, I believe the vice-chair role would be benefited by an
individual that can typically attend the face to face meetings in person.
This is a commitment I can make due the structure of my employment. Of
course advanced leadership and project management skills are required, which
I have already covered in my earlier bio.  Most importantly, I believe it
would be helpful for at least one of the two chairs to be filled with
someone who has deep operational and service experience within the industry
that ICANN related activities affect.  I believe one of the greatest
challenges in surrounding policy work of any sort is to consistently weigh
the impact that policy decisions and governance structure have on industry
executing parties, and the constituents they service.  One element, in
perhaps creating a neutral and fair leadership for the COT, could be to have
one chair come from a non-contracting party background, and one come from a
contracting party background.

         Best Regards,

         Michael Young
