I am at present a consultant to a Cambodian non-government organization, the Open Forum of Cambodia, which was created in 1994 to facilitate and to foster communication - not only electronic communication - in the conflictive, post-civil war Cambodian society.

My relation to the Internet, and since 1999 to ICANN, originated from the fact that I created in 1994 the first possibility for people in Cambodia to have access to e-mail, and in 1996 I created the possibility to have an e-mail address in Cambodia: .kh

Neither I nor the Open Forum of Cambodia have registered a top level domain � we use a secondary domain for our organization, under the ccTLD of Cambodia, .kh

For myself, I use a webmail account by the German provider GMX, a GMX ProMail account, for which I pay the normal set fees.

Neither we as an organization, nor I as an individual, own or have in any other way an economic interest in any IT or ICT company or related holding.
