Hi Bob, I accept the nomination. Here is my conflict of interest statement. I operate USAWebhost, an ICANN accredited registrar and a member of CORE. I worked for NeuStar during the bid for and build-out of .biz and .us, and have no interest in, or knowledge of, that registry operator since 04/01/01. I've provided technical assistance to several of the sTLD operators, and have no financial interest in those registries. I am currently involved in the proposed .cat culturally sponsored TLD. Eric
