Elliot Noss

in my comments to the ICANN board yesterday I noted that Roberto Gaetano and I first met at the original CORE meetings in '97/'98.

I was struck by the number of people who I first met back then that are still well involved in the process. They include the following:

- Roberto Gaetano (ICANN board member) - Hal Lubsen (CEO, Afilias) - Ken Stubbs (GNSO council) - Amadeu Abril i Abril (former board member, former gnso member, self-admitted ICANN groupie) - Antony Van Couvering (founder NetNames, traveled to Tuvalu with me in '98 in the early .tv fiasco) - Bob Connely (registrar emiritus) - John Kane (now with enom) - Richard Lindsay (formerly of GMO) - Nigel Roberts (Jersey ccTLD) - Jonathan Robinson (NetBenefit) - Tom Barrett (encirca and .pw) - Dave Crocker (brandenburg) - Kent Crispin (songbird)

Elliot Noss, often referred to as the "Luciano Pavarotti" of the open mic, is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Tucows, Inc. He has been a leader in the Internet industry for nearly ten years and has been a driver in the evolution of Tucows Inc. for the last seven. Trained as a lawyer, he joined Tucows in 1997 as Vice President, Corporate Services. He was subsequently appointed president and CEO of Tucows Inc. in May 1999.
