My name is Jothan Frakes, and I am the Co-Founder and Co-Producer of NamesCon.Vegas, The Domain Name Industry Conference, and also a community volunteer with Mozilla, investing time in the Public Suffix List <http://publicsuffix.org> towards furthering Universal Acceptance of new gTLDs and IDN. I recently concluded a contracting role related to the current round evaluation, but I am currently a free-agent participating in this group in a personal capacity. I am on the list / group at this time as an observer ("read-only mode"), interested in monitoring the group's work and the evolution of the process for the immediate next round. -Jothan Jothan Frakes +1.206-355-0230 tel +1.206-201-6881 fax On Wed, Jul 30, 2014 at 5:40 PM, Steve Chan <steve.chan@icann.org> wrote:
Hello All,
I believe these introductions are a really good thing that will benefit the work to come. I would like to encourage those that have not sent an introduction message, and are inclined to do so, to respond to the list whenever you have a moment.
My name is Steve Chan and I will be leading the ICANN policy staff support for this Discussion Group. Previously, I spent a number of years with the New gTLD Program, so I hope that my experiences there will be beneficial to this effort.
Best, Steve

Hello,
Great to see the introductions and the group starting to form, so I guess it is a good time to jump in
My name is Jeffrey Eckhaus and I am with Rightside Group. The parent company of eNom and Name.com both registrars as well as United TLD the registry for 30+ new TLDs as well as Rightside Registry, the back end service provider for 150+ new TLDs.
As you can see, we are a vertically integrated entity with an interest in the rollout of another round of new TLDs and will hopefully be able to give perspective on all parts of the value chain.
Thanks
Jeff
