If the answer is “yes,” please describe the material interest in ICANN GNSO policy development processes and outcomes:	My company registered a number of generic domain names (eg. bar.com, grill.com, pub.com, place.com, corp.com, shelter.com, cafes.com) in 1994 and 1995 and thus I have a business-owner and domain-registrant's interests in ICANN activities in addition to my primary interest as a representative of an Internet Service Provider.
