Question: How many domain names are registered to you personally or companies you preside over or have an influential financial interest in? Have you ever sold or marketed one or more domain names?

I've got perhaps half a dozen domains that I have registered and operate. None of 'em are financial powerhouses and one is one I run for a non-profit historical preservation group.

I've never sold a domain name, but I did give away cie.org. And I had one released, and lost, by someone who had no authority to do so.

As I've noted in my campaign information, I am a domain name owner. I own, for example, icannvote.com, which is a public information site where I describe the importance of registering for ICANN at large membership. I''ve never made a profit off any domains I own. If elected, I would terminate my ownership in any domains where I could have any possible financial gain. None of the domains, to my knowledge, infringe on anyone's trademark.

1. Re personally, several only for the purpose of this campaign. Both organizations over which I preside have registered domain names, and the companies/organizations on which I sit on the Boards of Directors have names registered. 2. No.

I have purchased no domain names, I have never sold or marketed a domain name, and I do not preside over any institution that owns domain names. I own stock in a few companies that have domain names, but I do not have influence over these companies.

I have purchased a handful of domain names, never for commercial reasons, and never to be sold.

No domain names are registered to me personally. BBN Technologies (the only company in which I have an influential financial interest) has registered several hundred domain names over the years, most of them in the context of its 35-year role as a provider of ARPAnet, NSFnet, and Internet infrastructure and services. BBN is owned by Verizon, which has also registered a great many domain names. I have never sold or marketed domain names.
