      <p>Jeff is an unapologetic support of New gTLD registries and
        overexpansion of intellectual property rights. He was a huge
        supporter of the private Public Interest Commitments -- the
        creator of the term "Walled Gardens" for a registry world in
        which registrants have no rights. He has fought, as co-chair,
        for registry rights to be embedded in the New gTLD applicant
        guidebook, and these now are.  <br>
      </p>
      <p>I appreciate his many years of chairing of a PDP WG, but he's
        not alone -- I've done that, Phil Corwin has done that, others
        too. He has not been particularly fair or neutral -- until
        complaints were made and he changed slowly. <br>

      <p>We don't need to support this nomination.  We can applaud
