Hello Glen,

Here is my SOI for the VI WG.  Many thanks.

1. Current vocation, employer and position
Attorney, Covington & Burling LLP, Special Counsel
2. Type of work performed in 1 above
I specialize in Internet and trademark matters, and represent trademark owner 
clients in connection with such matters. Among my responsibilities, I develop 
and implement strategies in the areas of offensive and defensive domain name 
registration, Internet monitoring and enforcement, anti-counterfeiting and 
anti-fraud; reclaim domain names through negotiation, arbitration (under the 
UDRP, .biz STOP, and .mobi Sunrise Challenge policies, thus far), and 
litigation; advise clients on trademark clearance, use, prosecution, and 
maintenance matters; negotiate and draft transactional documents relating to 
Internet-related assets and perform due diligence reviews of such assets; and 
design trademark usage policies and guidelines and anti-counterfeiting 
strategies for use in virtual worlds and social networks.  In connection with 
advising firm clients of generally noteworthy trademark- or Internet-related 
developments, I have also provided information and updates on DNS developments 
(e.g., posting of reports and documents for public comment, creation of new 
policy development processes and working groups, outcomes of ICANN Board 
meetings). All such communications have been, and will continue to be, based 
solely on publicly available information and documents.

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

None
4. Identify any type of commercial interest in ICANN policy development 
outcomes. Are you representing other parties?
I have no commercial interest in ICANN policy development outcomes.  No, I am 
not representing any firm clients in connection with the outcome of this PDP or 
any other.  As noted above, I do provide status updates on ICANN policy 
developments to a number of firm clients.

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

updates on the WG's progress. .
