| BACKGROUND |
|
Background information, personal statement, URL, or other information
you would like posted in connection with your name on the ICANN
website.
|
| As a person whose daily work includes educating and advising others on the choice of, and use of domain names, Liz is keenly interested in the development of the Domain Name system. She is a firm believer in the core principles that the Internet was founded upon, and favors self-regulation over government regulation. While recognizing the need for change, she is of the opinion that established protocols and principals need to be preserved where possible, so that backwards compatibility is always maintained.
Liz is also someone who believes that change in the Domain Name system is overdue. There have been rumors of new TLDs for so long that the public has become confused as to what exists, what has been agreed upon, and what has yet to be decided. This issue needs to be resolved and implemented as quickly as possible (while ensuring a stable addressing system) and ICANN needs to move on to other issues.
