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.

OFFICIAL STATUS
Status as an official of a national government or a multinational entity established by treaty or other agreement between national governments, such as an elected official or employee of a government or multinational entity.
No, I am not.
