<br class="">
I’m sending you both this email to let you know that I’ve taken CentralNic on as a client, which is to say that I’ll be working with them for a short while. I’m in the process of signing a fixed-term consultancy agreement with them, and expect to be working with them for the next six months, or so.<br class="">
<br class="">
I’m also sending this email, and am asking that Rafik forward it to the NCSG Policy Committee. The PC appointed me as one of the NCSG members representing it on the GNSO EPDP on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data, so I believe I have an obligation to inform them of any association I might have with a member of another group at ICANN.<br class="">
<br class="">
I’m quite certain that there is no conflict-of-interest between the work I’m doing for CentralNic, and that which I’m doing for the NCSG. The work I’m doing for CentralNic has nothing to do with ICANN or the GNSO, and CentralNic understands that I will not be representing their interests within the GNSO, or at ICANN in general. Also, the workload I’ll be taking on will not prevent me from continuing to participate in the EPDP. I plan on updating my GNSO Statement of Interest soon, but thought I’d give you and the PC a heads-up first.<br class="">
<br class="">
I would very much like to continue to represent the NCSG on the EPDP, however, this is a decision for the PC, so I’ll leave it with you and the rest of the committee.<br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks.<br class="">
<br class="">
Amr<br class="">
