While at<br>>> Neustar (2001-early 2015) I was able to head up the Registry<br>>> Services business team responsible for the launch of .nyc, but<br>>> also serving as the back end operator for 350+ generic and brand<br>>> top-level domain applications. In that capacity, I was<br>>> responsible for soliciting both gTLDs and brand TLDs and was able<br>>> to lead the team into signing up TLD applications of any back-end<br>>> registry operator. In addition, I was the business and<br>>> relationship lead for the .nyc TLD which launched a little over<br>>> one year ago. At Com Laude/Valideus, I have also seen a number of<br>>> other perspectives of the new gTLD program both from a corporate<br>>> registrar/brand protection perspective as well as a company that<br>>> provides consultative services to a number of brand TLDs (through<br>>> Specification 13) and to restricted and unrestricted TLDs.<br>>><br>>><br>>><br>>> With all of that said, I understand that a leadership position<br>>> within the WG requires /neutrality/ in ensuring that all<br>>> viewpoints are heard without having any pre-conceived notions or<br>>> outcomes. I have reviewed the requirements with my employer and<br>>> while they may have opinions on a number of the elements of the<br>>> new gTLD program, they understand that if they want to express<br>>> those views and I am on the leadership team, those views must be<br>>> expressed by other members of my organization. I have chaired a<br>>> number of other working groups both within the ICANN community,<br>>> including ones on Whois, and the reformation of the Policy<br>>> Development Process. I understand the time commitment involved<br>>> and am ready to make that commitment.<br>>><br>>><br>>><br>>> I would be happy to answer any questions and I look forward to<br>>> talking on Monday.<br>>><br>>><br>>><br>>> Best regards,<br>>><br>>><br>>><br>>><br>>><br>>> *Jeffrey J.
