<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>My apologies for missing yesterday's call. I couldn't make the rescheduled time. By way of introduction, I am Associate Director at Twitter, and have been an active member of the Business Constituency for 2 years on behalf of Twitter (including currently serving on the Credentials Committee and the committee set to review and revise the BC Bylaws). I am also currently serving on the 2016 NomCom as the BC delegate. Prior to my position at Twitter, I was Senior Counsel at Amazon during the first round. I have been an active committee member of INTA (International Trademark Association) since 2007, and am currently chairing a subcommittee on the Internet Committee. My practice predominately focuses on intellectual property, domain names, marketing, advertising and privacy issues, both on the legal and policy side. I've been active in managing legal issues in the domain world since 1997. <br><br></div>I'm keenly interested in new gTLDs, and can confirm that I have no financial benefit by any of the contracted parties. I also am not financially compensated by the contracted parties through an advisory role, or as an employee. I understand there is some concern about experience of the leadership on this WG. I can only provide that I have served on a WG in the past, and promise to be impartial and unbiased should I be chosen to represent the WG in a leadership function, as I have in other leadership roles that I have served. <br><br></div><div>I am happy to address any questions on my background or anything else. <br></div><div><br></div>Best,<br></div>Steve<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><span><font color="#888888"><span><font color="#888888"><div><span style="font-size:11px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue';text-align:-webkit-auto;color:rgb(136,136,136)"><span style="border-collapse:collapse"><font style="color:rgb(153,153,153)"><img src="cid:ii_137c2a2fb1261893"><br>Stephen Jadie Coates</font></span></span><span style="font-size:11px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue';text-align:-webkit-auto;color:rgb(136,136,136)"><span style="border-collapse:collapse"><font style="color:rgb(153,153,153)"><span style="color:rgb(51,204,255)"></span></font></span></span></div>

<p>I also think with the amount of work
that there will be for our group, there will likely be work
stream leaders for each of the at least 5 work streams

for a number of other people to actively participate as well
in leadership roles. I participated mostly as an observer in
the CCWG-ACCT group and think there are a lot of good
