[Gnso-newgtld-dg] Introductions

[Donna Austin]

Hi All

My name is Donna Austin and I currently work for ARI Registry Services. I also represent dotShabaka Registry in the RySG. I have been involved in ICANN on and off since 2001 and have a reasonable understanding of ICANN and its processes as a result.

My involvement or interest in this Group is similar to that expressed by Craig and Jon: that the work that comes out of this group creates a much more predictable, transparent, accountable and timely process for any future rounds of new gTLDs. There are many lessons to be learnt from the current round: we should be able to identify the things that worked, those that didn't, areas that could be improved and most importantly chart a course to guide ICANN for future rounds.


Thanks,

Donna

Hello All,

I believe these introductions are a really good thing that will benefit the work to come. I would like to encourage those that have not sent an introduction message, and are inclined to do so, to respond to the list whenever you have a moment.

My name is Steve Chan and I will be leading the ICANN policy staff support for this Discussion Group. Previously, I spent a number of years with the New gTLD Program, so I hope that my experiences there will be beneficial to this effort.

Best,
Steve

Hello,

Great to see the introductions and the group starting to form, so I guess it is a good time to jump in

My name is Jeffrey Eckhaus and I am with Rightside Group. The parent company of eNom and Name.com<http://Name.com> both registrars as well as United TLD the registry for 30+ new TLDs as well as Rightside Registry, the back end service provider for 150+ new TLDs.

As you can see, we are a vertically integrated entity with an interest in the rollout of another round of new TLDs and will hopefully be able to give perspective on all parts of the value chain.


Thanks


Jeff
