| QUALIFICATIONS | 
Statement addressing the candidates qualifications
and experience specifically relevant to
    (a) ICANN's technical and
administrative responsibilities, and
    (b) your leadership and policy-level
roles.
 | 
| (a) I have registered hundreds of domains for
    clients since 1996. From law firms in 
    Saudi Arabia to small firms in the UK.
    I understand how the structures were
    created in Continental Europe with their
    own naming system (.fr); in UK, Japan and Korea
    with their own model (co.jp) and then in Australia,
    Argentina, Brazil, Mexico with the .com.au
    version and what it is now happening because
    of these decisions. 
    I have wide knowlegde of what is required
    for the industry to work and you can see
    in www.se4d.com how important this area
    of Internet is for me. I had the idea for
    the site and I own 50% of the project that
    will be expanded very soon.
    I act as a consultant on all these issues
    for many clients at the moment.
 b) I believe that my experiences in dealing
   with people from so many areas of the world,
   has made me understand what their needs and
   requirements are in most issues related to
   ICANN. I also think that my inter-personal
   skills will be of great help in creating
   the conditions for agreements to be reached
   among all parties that can benefit the Internet
   community.

| BACKGROUND | 
| 
Background information, personal statement, URL, or other information
you would like posted in connection with your name on the ICANN
website.
 | 
 |  I am a co-founder of www.se4d.com and the
naming industry is a very important part
of my professional life. I would like higher
standards in all areas of this sector.
 We intend to introduce many new features to
se4d.com to highlight the concerns of many
people that email us with their own positive
or negative experiences.
 ICANN has a very positive role to play but
in my opinion it has must have a more hands-on
control over the workings of such bodies as
WIPO, especially in the naming of their panels
and the selection of one-person panels in
cases of extraordinary importance such as
Barcelona.com where one judge will have the
power to cause inmense chaos in the Internet.
