<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">After taking a backseat after many years in the domain name and ICANN world, when I saw that this working group was being formed, I thought it was a perfect way
to get back into the thick of things with an issue that is near and dear to me. I entered the ICANN world in 1999 as a young lawyer right out of law school, helping to draft the IPC bylaws and got hooked. I was Chair of INTA’s Registration and Domain Name
System Administration subcommittee, Vice Chair of the Internet committee as a whole, and then Chair of the entire Internet committee in 2010 and 2011. I served for several years on ICANN’s Names Council on behalf of the IPC, and chaired ICANN’s Implementation
