→ICANN & Industry Involvement
In a letter dated December 8th, 2011, Paul Stahura, along with twenty-seven other domain name industry representatives, wrote to Sen. Jay Rockefeller and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison to support [[ICANN]]'s new gTLD program, in response to the [[ICANN#New_gTLD_Senate_and_House_of_Representatives_Hearings|Senate Hearings]] taking place on the same day. They supported ICANN's argument that the program would be innovative and economically beneficial, and noted that the program took a diverse group of international stakeholders years to develop.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/new-gtld-industry-pleads-with-senators/ New gTLD industry pleads with senators, domainincite.com]</ref> The letter can be found [http://domainincite.com/docs/Senate-Letter-ICANN-Expansion-of-Top-Level-Domains-08.DEC.2011.pdf here].

===Domaining===
Paul has never considered himself a [[domainer]], and only began buying a small amount of domain names after meeting prolific domainer, [[Frank Schilling]], in 2004. Despite this, he has been nominated for "2012 Domainer of the Year". His current potfolio is around 50 names, though he notes the highest return on any investment he has ever made was selling clear.com, which he purchased for $6,000 out of bankruptcy. He named eNom as such because the domain "ename.com" was already taken.<ref>[http://whoapi.com/blog/987/paul-stahuras-time-machine-1995-domain-rush-all-over-again-interview/ Paul Stahuras Time Machine 1995 Domain Rush All Over Again Interview, Whoapi.com]</ref>
