[gnso-vi-feb10] Jeff Neuman Statement of Interest

["Neuman, Jeff" <Jeff.Neuman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

Please find enclosed my statement of interest for the VI Working Group.  Has a 
wiki been established where these will be posted?


1.       Current vocation, employer and position


                    I currently serve as the Vice President of Law & Policy for 
NeuStar, Inc., the domain name registry for the .biz and .us top-level domains.



2.       Type of work performed in 1 above


                    In this role, I am responsible for all legal and policy 
issues with respect to the .biz and .us TLDs as well as for various other 
non-registry lines of business within NeuStar.  In addition, NeuStar may be 
pursuing new top-level domains both as a front end and as a back-end registry 
operator.





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


                    NeuStar is the domain name registry for .biz and .us as 
well as the back-end operator for .travel and .tel.  As a Vice President within 
NeuStar, I am in a senior leadership position and I do own a very small de 
minimus amount of equity.  NeuStar does not own or have any interest in any 
domain name registrar, nor is it owned in any way by an ICANN-accredited 
Registrar.  Neustar is not involved currently in any other constituency or 
stakeholder group other than the RySG within ICANN.




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


                    Other than being a "contracted party" bound by Consensus 
Policies, as defined in the .biz top-level domain agreement, and pursuing new 
gTLDs, NeuStar does not have any other commercial interest in ICANN GNSO policy 
development outcomes.





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


                    I currently serve as the alternate chair for the gTLD 
Registries Constituency and as the official gTLD Constituency representative 
for .biz.  However, the gTLD Registry Stakeholder group has yet to decide who 
from the RySG will be formally representing it in this Working Group.  Thus, 
absent a statement to the contrary, I represent the interests of Neustar.





6.       Geographic Region associated with the nationality of volunteer 
(Africa, North America, Latin America/Caribbean, Asia/Australia/Pacific and 
Europe)

 --- North America (United States)



7.       Stakeholder Group(s) in which volunteer currently participates within 
the ICANN organization
I currently am in the Registries Stakeholder Group.
