Andrei Kolesnikov - Nominating Committee Appointee
Statement of Interest
28 September 2009

I started with Internet in late 80th. Since that time I was involved into all 
major Internet issues: building large ISPs, managing the marketing initiatives, 
running Web sites and doing business development, including M&As. My last job 
was deputy media director for Vimpelcom (NYSE: VIP), telecom giant in Russia.

Currently I'm a director of Coordination center for TLD .RU<http://cctld.ru/>, 
country domain administrator, a non-profit organization responsible for 
defining the domain registration and administration rules. Coordination center 
also outsources support and construction of the DNS infrastructure and core .RU 
domain directory and registration system. Currently Coordination center has 21 
accredited organizations authorized to register second level domains in Russian 
TLD.  Our organization is a part of ccNSO community.

As part of my volunteer activities I'm advising Ministry of communications and 
mass media of Russia on issues related to domains and address space. Also I'm a 
member of the "Friendly RUNET<http://friendlyrunet.ru/>" foundation to fight 
child pornography and abuse.

I have no commercial interest in ICANN GNSO work results.
