Forwarded From: Andrei Kolesnikov Statement of
Interest I started with Internet in late 80th.
Since that time I was involved into all major Internet issues: building large
ISPs, managing the marketing initiatives, running Web sites and doing business
development, including M&As. My last job was deputy media director for
Vimpelcom (NYSE: VIP), telecom giant in Russia. Currently I’m a director of Coordination center for TLD .RU, country domain
administrator, a non-profit organization responsible for defining the domain
registration and administration rules. Coordination center also outsources
support and construction of the DNS infrastructure and core .RU domain
directory and registration system. Currently Coordination center has 21 accredited
organizations authorized to register second level domains in Russian TLD.
Our organization is a part of ccNSO community. As part of my volunteer activities I’m advising
Ministry of communications and mass media of Russia on issues related to domains
and address space. Also I’m a member of the “Friendly
RUNET” foundation to fight child pornography and abuse. I have no commercial interest in ICANN GNSO work results. Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat gnso.secretariat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://gnso.icann.org |
