>> *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.
>>

>> 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+

>> 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

>> 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
