If yes, please specify: I enjoy the governance process, and I do find the

groups.  I also find face to face, when held, with other communities are also
very valuable. I participate in the following working groups; Guidelines
Review Committee, ccNSO Meetings Programme Standing Committee, Policy
Development Process  Retirement Working Group, as well as the ccNSO Strategic
and Operational Planning Standing Committee.  I would be very interested in
any working groups that may revolve around blockchain in the future - I do
have a designation from the CIO organization and may be of some value given
the presentations in Kobe and some of the suggested material in Morocco.
I was previously granted ccNSO travel funding.: Yes
If yes, please specify: Kobe, Marrakech, Barcelona
Any additional information you would like to share? As a small registry, the
assistance from ICANN has and continues to be much appreciated.  I continue
to want to maintain the tradition of hitting above our size in terms of
representing the VI.  I also get considerable value from hearing what other
registries are doing as I do look for ways to grow the VI.
Privacy Policy: I agree.
