Judith Duavit Vazquez is the Founder and Chairman of PHCOLO Inc. and a former Member of the ICANN Board from 2011 to 2013. She was elected by the Nominating Committee, and began her position following the 2011 Annual Meeting in Dakar, Senegal.[1] She resigned from her position on the Board in October 2013.[2] Vazquez is a member of the Pacific Telecommunications Council (PTC), the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC), and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).[3]
Vazquez or her company were involved in an application for an unknown gTLD at the time that she assumed her role on the Board. The conflict of interest was noted in her published statement of interest, and despite this she voted on matters related to new gTLDs until February 7, 2012 instead of abstaining. In the minutes from a Board meeting on May 6th, it was revealed that Vazquez had withdrawn her application over the phone through the customer service center some time after April 12th, during the period of TAS system downtime. She has since joined the New gTLD Program Committee.[4]
