13) Additional Information (optional): | I am the author of the Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP), an IETF standard protocol for registry-registrar domain name management. I am also a co-author of the protocol specifications for the Registration Data Access protocol (RDAP), a protocol designed to address many of the operational limitations of the WHOIS protocol. I own shares of Verisign stock and hold options to purchase additional shares, but the amount of shares I currently own plus the potential shares I could possibly own if I exercised all options is a miniscule number relative to the total number of Verisign shares. Regarding the pending introduction of new gTLDs, Verisign has applied directly for new gTLDs and also may serve as a registry services provider in support of other applicants for new gTLDs. |
