James Bladel is the Vice President of Policy at GoDaddy, where he represents the company in ICANN and ccTLD policy development. He is a part of the GNSO as a voting member in the Registrar Stakeholder Group.[1][2] He is serving his first time as the North American representative for Registrars on the GNSO Council, through November 2015, and is one of three GNSO delegates to the IANA Coordination Group.
ICANN Participation edit
Mr. Bladel's continued participation at ICANN meetings includes updating the community, especially the Registrar Stakeholder Group, on PDP, Working Groups, and other similar issues. He has made presentations at ICANN Seoul, ICANN Nairobi, and ICANN Sydney.[3][4] Mr. Bladel was also responsible for unveiling GoDaddy's new DNS service at ICANN Cartagena. The service allows the average domain name owners to implement DNSSEC without having to worry about manually generating or managing cryptographic keys.[5]
He has expressed personal views that ICANN constantly strive to hold meetings in areas that can attract large numbers of attendees in order to better make meaningful and significant decisions. He also hopes that ICANN continues to address and improve its resources for those individuals partaking in Remote Participation.[6]
In June, 2010, he responded to ICANN's calls for volunteers for the Whois Policies Review Team.[7] James has also been involved with the Accountability and Transparency Review Team.[8]
