Kuo-Wei Wu is the CEO of NIIEPA.[1] He was elected by ICANN's Address Supporting Organization to a three year term on the ICANN Board, which concludes six months after the end of the Annual General Meeting in 2012.[2]
In November, 2011 he led a forum on ICANN's new gTLD program. It has been one of the few ICANN outreach efforts in the region.[3] While there he addressed the timely question of when the second-round of applications for new gTLDs would be accepted. Mr. Wu emphasized that it would happen as soon as possible as ICANN did not want to create a gold rush mentality, but that it was up to brand owners and entrepreneurs to weigh whether or not they could afford to wait.[4]
Mr. Wu has previously excused himself from voting on issues related to ICANN's new gTLD program as per a 2011 conflict of interests policy. He excused himself from a vote in December, 2011, but as of February, 2012, he was once again voting on issues related to new gTLDs.[5]
