ICANN
He was elected representative by the Registrar Stakeholder Group to the GNSO Council in 2007. His term expires in the end of the annual meeting of 2011.[2] This has been an extremely important tenure with relations to the new gTLD program, and Adrian was involved in such important events as writing the document, 'Introduction of New Generic Top-Level Domains Document (11 September 2007)'.[3] His many blog posts and interviews regarding ICANN show him celebrating the organizations achievements, and critically engaging its shortcomings and missteps; he is an incredibly active member of the community as has attended over 28 ICANN meetings over the past ten years. [4] Adrian must be well aware of the ups and downs of ICANN meetings as he fell victim to an ATM scam at the 2010 ICANN Cartagena meeting![5]
Mr. Kinderis was invited to make a presentation on new gTLDs at the 2009 ICANN meeting in Sydney.[6]
