Re: [registrars] Nomination of Tom Keller

[Thomas Keller <tom@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

thanks for the nomination which I hereby would like to accept. Serving
on the GNSO Council for another term would be a great pleasure and
honour for me.

Please find my disclosure of interst below:

I am under contract with Schlund + Partner AG which is a global 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.

About my person:

I'm working for Schlund + Partner for my eight year now and have been
involved into the process of building the registrar from the very beginning. 
For the last three years I have been responsible for all ICANN matters 
concerning Schlund. Over the last years I have been involved as Registrar Rep 
into the GNSO Council and the new whois process. Besides ICANN and my work at 
home I'm a member of the Technical Advisory Committee of DENIC which oversees 
the technical processes relating to the management of the worlds second largest 
TLD. Due to my experience I'm well aware of how policy can effect our day to 
day business and therefore would like to be the speaking tube of the constituency 
to reflect its needs as good as possible.

Best,

tom
