Re: [registrars] Regarding Tom Keller nomination to the GNSO WHOIS privacy steering group

[Thomas Keller <tom@schlund.de>]

Hello,

I would like to thank Paul for the nomination and Bruce for the second
and herewith accept the nomination for the whois steering group.

Please find my disclosure of interest below:

I am under contract with Schlund + Partner AG which is a global
registrar of domain names in gTLDs and ccTLDs and one of Germany 
biggest webhosting companies.

Schlund + Partner AG has a 8.6% shareholding in Afilias for investment
purposes. Schlund + Partner AG has no role in software development nor 
operations for Afilias.

I don't hold any other offices and are not affiliated to any other
company.

Best,

tom
