     Among other things, I am an attorney in private practice in Atlanta,

domain name panelist for WIPO.

     My legal practice concentrates on representation of clients with
copyright, trademark and technology/Internet-related needs.  A substantial
portion of my practice includes advice regarding domain name disputes and

     As a domain name panelist for WIPO, I regularly receive cases filed by
third parties under the UDRP and write decisions determining the outcome of
the disputes.

other firms that are interested parties in Whois.

 

     None.

     As an attorney in private practice, I regularly use Whois to identify
domain name registrants for, among other things, facilitating communications
and resolving domain name and other online disputes.  I am an individual
member of the Intellectual Property Constituency of ICANN.
