I have been involved with ICANN since 1999, first as a member of the Business Users Constituency (representing small and large commercial users) and now as an elected representative to the GNSO. I served two terms of office as DNSO Names Council chairman and chaired issue task forces on review and on structure. In 2002 I participated in the Board's Dot Info Country Names Discussion Group (ICNG) and was appointed to the Board's assistance groups developing recommendations on structure and a policy development process for the GNSO and later for the country code name supporting organization (CCNSO). In 2003 I chaired the GNSO Council committee on new gTLDs. In 2004 I chaired the dot net re-delegation subcommittee and in 2004 I served on the President's Committee on the WIPO II request. I currently serve on the GNSO task forces considering new gTLDs and new registry services.

I am British. There are currently no ICANN Board members of British nationality. The majority of my professional work experience has been outside the UK and has included a significant amount of time in the Middle East and continental Europe. A career move brought me to Brussels, Belgium where I currently hold the position of public affairs manager for an association representing both multi-national organisations and national associations of small and large companies throughout western, central and eastern Europe. In this role I work daily with different nationalities both within my own organization and in my professional public affairs work with the European Commission, members of the European Parliament, and with the ministries of national governments. I travel frequently to national European capitals and to Geneva. The focus of this work is the maintenance of a liberal legal climate where innovation can flourish and includes the important strategy of encouraging the use of self-regulation as an alternative to law.
