Steve DelBianco

Steve DelBianco serves as executive director of NetChoice, a coalition of e-commerce businesses and trade associations, including the Electronic Retailing Association, the Internet Alliance, AOL, eBay, Oracle, VeriSign, Yahoo, and several thousand small online sellers based in the U.S.

I am also vice president of Public Policy at the Association for Competitive Technology (ACT), a trade association for ICT businesses in the US and Europe.

2. Type of work performed:

I set the policy agenda for both NetChoice and ACT. Frequently testify before the U.S. Congress and in state legislatures regarding Internet governance, e-commerce, and consumer protection. I represent NetChoice at ICANN meetings and in the Business Constituency. Also publish research and policy documents, and maintain a blog at http://blog.netchoice.org

3. I have no financial ownership or management leadership of registries, registrars or other firms that are interested parties in Whois.

4. The nature of my interest in Whois is to maintain the integrity of e-commerce and internet communications. I believe that an accurate Whois service must be accessible to business and law enforcement for purposes of consumer protection and intellectual property protection.
