Rob,

 

I am sorry, but the working group has exceeded the allotted number of
registrars that can safely participate in any one working group J

 

Welcome to the group.

 

Best regards,

 

Michael

Subject: [gnso-pednr-dt] Statement of Interests

 

Please find below my answers to the statement of Interest questions.  I have
been on the mailing list since inception, but I plan to participate more
directly now, so I thought it a good idea I finally get it in.

 

Rob.

 

 

 

 

1.            Current vocation, employer and position

 

CEO, Momentous.ca Corp.

 

2.            Type of work performed in 1 above

 

You're kidding, right ?  

 

3.       Identify any financial ownership or senior management/leadership
interest in registries, registrars or other firms that are interested
parties in ICANN policy or any entity with which ICANN has a transaction,
contract, or other  arrangement

 

Wow, what an amazingly poorly worded question.  I would assume all companies
that have a domain name are interested (or should be) in the ICANN policy
process as it would effect them and their domain.  In the interest of
keeping it brief, I have listed below some of the main companies that I
either own shares in, sit on the Board of, or am an officer of:

 

Coca-Cola

Verisign

Royal Bank of Canada

Momentous.ca Corp.

Tucows

Volleyball Canada

 

 

Additionally, Momentous.ca is an investor in a number of ICANN accredited
Registrars and Pool.com.

 

4.  Identify any type of commercial interest in ICANN GNSO policy
development outcomes.  Are you representing other parties?

 

Again, an badly worded question.  I represent myself in all capacities, and
please refer to # 3

 

5.       Describe any arrangements or agreements between you and any other
group, constituency or person(s) regarding your nomination or selection as a
work team member.

 

I have no arrangements between any group, constituency or person regarding
my being requested to sit on this working group.
