I thanked Jonathan for being forthcoming about his past ties to Verisign.  Jonathan says "he has no financial interest in the outcome" and that his ongoing role as a board member for NetChoice, a Verisign lobbyist, is merely a technicality and has no bearing on his current policy positions and does not reflect a material interest that needs to be disclosed on his SOI.  I accept that and have no issue to raise with his SOI.

If you are willing, I'd like to keep the discussion respectful and to keep it out of the "toilet".
