1.            Current vocation, employer and position

Director, Industry & Government Relations
Neustar, Inc

2.            Type of work performed in 1 above

Working in Neustar's External Affairs office, I develop and implement policy 
related to our Domain Name and DNS business.

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 a registry operator under contract with ICANN (.biz) and the U.S. 
Department of Commerce (.us). Neustar provides back-end technical registry 
services to several gTLD and ccTLD registry operators, and DNS to TLD operators 
and enterprise customers.

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

There are no arrangements or agreements between me and any other group, 
constituency, or person(s) regarding my involvement in the VIWG.

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

North America

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

I participate in the GNSO Registry Stakeholder Group for .biz and am on the 
ccNSO Council representing the .us ccTLD.

In addition in order to  understand everyone's true interests (as opposed to 
which group they  participate in), would you be so kind as to state whether you 
are  affiliated in some form or fashion with one or more TLD applications, 
whether  that is as a registry front-end, registry back-end, DNS provider, 
consultant to  a TLD applicant.

Neustar expects to be involved with several TLD applications, possibly as a 
registry front-end, registry back-end, and/or DNS provider.
