Statement addressing the candidates qualifications and experience specifically relevant to
   (a) ICANN's technical and administrative responsibilities, and

(a) I have a good understanding of all the general issues pertaining to ICANN relatd issues.

As CEO of Australian Hosting Pty Ltd, I oversaw the completion of a fully operational ISP service> My primary role was to handle all issues associated with the APNIC alocation of IP addresses.

My primary interest however is the allocation of domain names. I feel that this issue will dominate many meetings of ICANN, and I wish to represent the general communities interests as best as I can.

ICANN is an instrument for the people of this world as demonstrated by the enthusiastic resposne to its membership.

We need as many independant voices at ICANN, as we cannot leave these important policy decisions to the major corporations or technocrats.
