Elana, Paul,

thank you for your nomination an second. I gratefully accept the nomination. 
Please find my disclosure of interest below:

registrar of domain names in gTLDs and ccTLDs and one of Germany 
largest webhosting companies.

Schlund + Partner AG has a 8.6% shareholding in Afilias for investment
purposes. Schlund + Partner AG has no role in software development nor 
operations for Afilias.

I don't hold any other offices and are not affiliated to any other
company.

my former work as council rep (or whatever else you like to know) 
please don't hesitate to drop me a note or to give me a call.
