Hi,

For accuracy sake I needed to update mine.  No real change, however.

---

I am an independent research consultant and a part time Adjunct  
Professor at Luleå University of Technology (LTU) in Sweden.  At LTU I  
supervise two Ph.D. students on Delay Tolerant Networking Technology  
(DTN) Technology and am responsible for creating a curriculum in  
Internet Governance.  As a professor I am partially funded by an  
European Commission FP7 research grant.
I have a recurring part-time contract with UN-DESA and the Internet  
Governance Forum as a consultant on Internet Governance and WSIS  
follow-up activities.  I also have a part-time contract with Iometrix  
where I am consulting on establishing certification testing programs  
for VoIP NNI (Network to Network Interconnect).  While I am an  
associate of the Interisle Consulting Group, I am currently inactive  
and expect to remain so as long as I am involved with ICANN as a  
volunteer.  Specifically, I have no involvement in any contracts  
Interisle may have with ICANN.

As part of my volunteer activities I give advice to various  
representatives of indigenous nomadic nd semi-nomadic populations and  
NGOs on Internet topics which include the possibility of obtaining a  
gTLD. These activities may involve providing assistance in obtaining a  
TLD including assistance in raising the necessary funding for a TLD,  
when and if that is an appropriate solution to their goals.  I am not,  
however, currently involved in any such efforts.
In terms of the GNSO Council and its various working groups,  
committees and teams, I currently have no employment, contract,  
statement of work, financial interest, share ownership or any other  
business relationship with ICANN, registries or registrars except as a  
registrant of several domain names.  I participate in ICANN as a pro- 
bono activity because I believe in ICANN's mission as a volunteer/ 
multistakeholder led organization.
