Re: Letter to GAC and ccNSO re Consumer metrics
by Stéphane Van Gelder Aug. 3, 2011

Aug. 3, 2011

Hi Rosemary, Thanks for your request. I am copying the Council on my response because I think this is a discussion we should all be having. Let me start by saying how much I appreciate your efforts as leader of the GNSO Council's Consumer metrics initiative. I'm sure all Councillors feel the same way. What I am not sure of, however, is that all would feel comfortable with me sending the letter you have drafted as-is. My understanding is that we as a Council have yet to determine whether we are comfortable with moving this ahead as a cross-community effort. My own personal view is that the letter as drafted could be misconstrued as a call for cross-community work. I am not saying whether this is a good or bad thing, but as there has been considerable debate on this over the past few months, I would not feel comfortable in sending such a letter in my capacity as Chair unless I know the Council supports that move. So may I ask for comments on the proposed letter? Is everyone OK with me sending it as-is? Thanks.

Aug. 1, 2011

Dear Councillors, Please find Jonathan Robinson's statement of interest (SOI) that has been updated and the old ones are archived at: http://gnso.icann.org/council/members http://gnso.icann.org/council/soi/robinson-soi-current-en.htm http://gnso.icann.org/council/soi/robinson-soi-archive-en.htm Please find Jonathan Robinson's updated SOI in the text below: I am a current non-executive director of Afilias Ltd, an Irish company and internet infrastructure solutions provider. My position is subject to periodic re-election by shareholders. I am a director of IPRota Ltd, a UK company and provider of services relating to the protection of intellectual property rights and domain names. IPRota has entered into a contract to set up and manage the initial rights protection mechanism (sunrise validation process) for the new .xxx TLD. I was a director of UK headquartered Group NBT plc for over 10 years, a position from which I resigned in June 2009. Group NBT operates a registrar based business model. I retain an investment in the business which is a small minority interest and below the threshold for mandatory public company disclosure. I retain neither involvement in nor visibility of the day to day operations of any aspect of the Group NBT business. I have other minority and investment interests in small businesses in the UK that are unconnected with the domain name industry. I have no other financial or relevant interests relating to ICANN or the GNSO. Thank you. Kind regards, Glen Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org<mailto:gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org> http://gnso.icann.org
