BACKGROUND
Background information, personal statement, URL, or other information you would like posted in connection with your name on the ICANN website.
Since I got my first Commodore VC 20 (forerunner from the most famous C 64 :-)) in 1984 i´m enthusiasted by computers. Afterwards this enthusiasm hasn´t gone - far from it - it had been strengthened. Conditionally upon my concentrated study in the department of safety engineering i´m really interested in the field of internet security - present news about dramatically increasing security problems confirm my doubts.

Now, if I´m elected I would like to represent the interests of the end users and improving the independence of the net. Beyond that I´m interested in free software. All software should be free for all people - not only for those who can afford it ! Well if I´m elected, everyone could send me his suggestions to my special disposed icann email: icann.helfrich@kdt.de

About my qualifications I´d like to say that I got extensive knowledgement in network architecture, operating systems (not only MS-based !) and all about computer-business. Furthermore I´ve got qualifications in research and development and in generating and evaluating surveys. As well upon my private interests in improving the security of the net, I think that I´m the ideal member for us. Of course there are other great people, but you must decide yourself whats the best for You !
