[council] Updated Statement of Interest

[Avri Doria <avri@xxxxxxx>]

I am an independent research consultant and a part time adjunct  
professor at Luleå University of Technology in Sweden. I also have a  
recurring contract with the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) as a  
consultant to its secretariat and am an associate of the Interisle  
Consulting Group.  Interisle Consulting Group is the independent  
contractor that is currently being utilized for the ICANN Nominating  
Committee Review.  I have no role in this review, am not involved in  
any of this work and am completely shielded from any of the  
information or data collected as part of this work.
I currently have no employment, contract, statement of work,  
financial interest, share ownership or any other business  
relationship with ICANN, registries or registrars except as a  
registrant of several domain names.
As part of my volunteer activities I give advice to various  
representatives of indigenous nomadic and semi-nomadic populations on  
Internet topics which include the possibility of obtaining a gTLD. I  
am currently involved in activities that may lead to the creation of  
an non governmental organization (NGO) whose primary purpose would be  
to assist indigenous groups as well as populations from the less  
developed nations, NGOs active in representing the needs of these  
populations, and other advocacy groups, in obtaining a presence on  
the Internet. These activities may involve providing assistance in  
obtaining a TLD, including assistance in raising the necessary  
funding for a TLD, when that is an appropriate solution to their goals.
