Tim and Elana,

Thank you for your nominations.  I accept the nomination to the budget
committee.

Below is my statement of conflict of interest made in May of this year.  All
information contained in it still holds true at this time.  Please accept it
as my conflict statement as required by our bylaws.

Rob.

Fellow Registrars,



As there seems to be some confusion about conflict of interest statements,
let me be clear in mine (both now and in the past).



I do not, nor have I ever, operated, owned or been employed by a Registry.



I did not participate in any of the .org or new TLD bids to own or operate a
Registry.



I was the Chair of the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) which
governs the .ca domain from 1998-1999.  CIRA was not operational at the
time, as it was in the development stage, and as such, had no Registrars or
sensitive information relating to Registrars.



Although I am not exactly clear on what ?Registry sensitive information? is,
I believe I have never had it in my possession.



I am currently the President & CEO of Momentous.ca Corp, which owns
Registrars, two of which are ICANN accredited.



Personally, I also own a few shares of Tucows, traded on the Nasdaq.



Other than that, I have no interest in other Registrars at this time.



If at any time, any of you have questions about any potential or perceived
conflicts, please do not hesitate to come to me personally.



Rob.
