| 12 | Briefly describe the reason for your interest in joining this group and include any expertise you would bring to discussions regarding registry service providers in the ICANN ecosystem. | CIRA has managed the .CA ccTLD for the past 17 years. Recently, we have branched out into offering both ccTLD and gTLD Registry Services. As a new Entrant into the Registry Provider world, we are eager to collaborate with others in order to improve the ICANN processes as they relate to the gTLD space. Personally, as Product Manager, I am responsible for the design, development and operation of both the .CA and FURY Registry platforms and would like to offer any expertise I have in this area to help out the group. More specifically with our recent transition of .kiwi from one provider to FURY Registry Platform, I may be able to offer a unique perspective on the overall transition process.
