<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I
am owner of Rodenbaugh Law, a member of the Business and Commercial Users
Constituency. I am an attorney licensed in California. I
advise and represent entities and individuals with various commercial interests
in domain names and other forms of intellectual property, and with
varying interests in internet commerce.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I
am personally concerned about the security and stability of the Internet, as it
is increasingly the backbone of our society, critical to global commerce,
communications and safety. So I am interested in ICANN’s
role in managing and coordinating the technical and policy aspects of the
Internet. I am mindful of the many enormous benefits of
the internet that are fostered by ICANN policy, and seek for ICANN
policy to develop in ways that will enhance the growth of internet commerce and
communications. I am also concerned about various, serious harms
enabled by policies of ICANN and its contracting registries and accredited
registrars, or by lack of effective policy. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Businesses
and their customers are experiencing increasingly severe harm from
phishing, malware distribution, hacking and other forms of online crime
and intellectual property infringement. For many years I served as
in-house counsel at Yahoo! Inc., working increasingly to protect Yahoo! users
and their commercial and personal interests, as well as Yahoo!'s commercial
interests, against these increasing worldwide threats. I believe
that these harms will continue to rapidly grow, unless DNS policies are
adapted to help fight them. So I strive for DNS policy that
helps to mitigate those threats as much as reasonably
possible. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>On
occasion, I may have clients with similar concerns, or who have other
policy interests at ICANN. As a representative elected to the GNSO
Council by the collective members of the Business Constituency, I am required
by the Constituency's Charter to support and otherwise remain faithful to
approved positions of the Constituency as applicable, rather than my own views
or those of any client I may have at any given time. To the extent that
any client seeks my representation or advocacy in any ICANN forum, I would
further disclose the identity of such client and their interest in the matter
at the time of that representation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

of WHOIS information, development of stronger rights protection mechanisms to
curb abusive registrations, development of IDN TLD domain space, and the release
