Hi,

I need to update my statement of interest a bit.

thanks

I am an independent research consultant and an adjunct professor at  
Luleå University of Technology in Sweden. I also have a recurring  
contract with the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) as a consultant to  
its secretariat.  I have no employment, contract, financial interest,  
share ownership or any other business relationship with ICANN,  
registries or registrars except as a registrant of several domain names.

As part of my volunteer activities I give advice to various  
representatives of indigenous nomadic and semi-nomadic populations on  
Internet topics which include the possibility of obtaining an TLD.  I  
am currently involved in activities that may lead to the creation of  
an non governmental organization (NGO) whose primary purpose would be  
to assist indigenous groups as well as populations from the less  
developed nations, NGOs active in representing the needs of these  
populations, and other advocacy groups, in obtaining a presence on  
the Internet.  These activities may involve providing assistance in  
obtaining a TLD, including assistance in raising the necessary  
funding for a TLD, when that is an appropriate solution to their goals.
