[registrars] Acceptance of Nomination

[Ross Rader]

Hello all,

I have decided to accept the nomination to stand for the 
GNSO Council. Thank you for considering me for this 
important position. I believe that there is still a lot of 
work for Registrars to do to within ICANN. This will be an 
excellent opportunity for us to continue the work of the 
past few years and ensure that ICANN continues to deal 
with our agenda. I accept this nomination with the full 
support of Tucows and therefore if I am elected, I will be 
able to fully participate in the business of the council 
as required.

Conflicts Declaration
I am the Director of Research and Innovation for Tucows 
Inc., an ICANN accredited registrar and internet service 
vendor. Tucows has roughly an 8% shareholding in Afilias. 
Neither Tucows nor I is in possession of, nor do we have 
access to Registry Sensitive or Registry Proprietary 
information as defined by any relevant registry operating 
contracts. Tucows provides consulting and hosting services 
to other registrars. I am not an officer, director, 
consultant, or employee with any of these registrar 
partners nor am I specifically involved in providing these 
services to these registrars. If there are any questions 
about this acceptance or my declaration, please feel free 
to send me a note.

Thanks again,
