Hal Lubsen

Hal Lubsen is the CEO of Afilias and a veteran in the domain name industry. Hal Lubsen co-founded domain name registrar Domain Bank, Inc., one of the Internet's first ICANN authorized domain name registrars. He has also served as a member of the Executive Committee of the Internet Council of Registrars (CORE) from 1998 to 2001.

As the CEO of Afilias, Hal Lubsen directed the launch of .INFO, the most successful generic Top Level Domain since .COM was introduced. The .INFO launch included a number of pioneering efforts, including the first large scale deployment of the new Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) protocol.
