(a) ICANN's technical and
administrative responsibilities, and

(b) I am the (sole) owner of a one-man-business, which provides services in the field of webpresence and editing generally. My company is the registrant of approx. 350 domains.
(c) n/a |
| BACKGROUND |
|
Background information, personal statement, URL, or other information
you would like posted in connection with your name on the ICANN
website.
|
| My self nomination springs from dissatisfaction with a number of recent developments on the internet, which give more and more power to the large companies, taking basic (human) rights away from smaller businesses and ordinary people.
Though I do not doubt their qualifications, many nominees put forward by ICANN for the Atlarge seats (especially as regards the European seat) are from a large business background (telecom...). I think these should not represent the *users* of internet, who are their customers. This would easily give rise to conflicts of interest. So, in case no better small guy or lady stands, I wanted you to have a choice. More information on:
