March 29, 2016

Hello and hope this message finds everyone well, I am a business owner (multiple businesses) in addition to my primary role in providing consulting, implementation, and project management services in the health and benefits space. I am also extremely interested in Internet Governance and ICANN work, have developed a passion for domain investing, and the impact it has on business worldwide. This is an incredibly important undertaking and hope to become a valuable team member. The more deeply immersed in the domain world, the more I studied, the more company and individual stories about Internet Governance are documented, the more I understand the positive impact as well as the negative and financial impact the lack of clear rules and regulation can. This is truly important work and it's wonderful to be part of this working group. Thank you, Brian Hayes

Colleagues, I am also a US attorney who works with the .CLUB registry. My SOI can be found at https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/Jonathan+Frost+SOI. I find it very encouraging that the participants so far view UDRP as a balancing act that has to be fair to everyone involved, including the rights holder, the domain owner, and the operational viability for the infrastructure and arbitration providers. I also look forward to working with all of you. Best regards, Jonathan Frost
