Kevin and candidates
I hope that biographical information will include details of income
received from companies, organizations and governments affected by Internet
issues.
The medical people have shown quite decisively that funding has affected
results and publication bias. All major journals have disclosures at the
bottom of most articles of such funding.
Taking money does not mean you are biased. Vint works for Google and Jason
for Comcast, but both have proven to me they put the public interest first.
But transparency is important. Currently, I'm pretty sure that one ICANN
board member has close business ties to a entity funded by ICANN,
undisclosed. One key actor in IGF refuses to disclose sources of income,
which I believe is predominantly a large company. One active ISOC person I
believe has been funded directly or indirectly by the U.S. government and
taken position nearly always in line with the U.S. Gov. (I'm being obscure
because things like this require strong proof before being detailed
publicly.)
Meanwhile, here are a few basics from my quick web search. I note that
several have close ties to the UN, which some of us believe is trying to
take over the Internet. (Not me.) Several have ties to what most of us
consider authoritarian governments. Several are consultants in our field
and I don't know who their clients are. Are they risking their income if
they support Net Neutrality?
Others receive substantial income, directly or indirectly, from ICANN. The
role of ICANN is clearly a top policy question and there are important
financial ties between ISOC and ICANN. ISOC strongly supported ICANN
against the U.N./ITU. We already receive 80+% of our income as the
ICANN-designated .org outfit. We have to be very careful here.
None of which disqualifies anyone. I know Narelle well enough to believe
she considered these issues.

Gildshire is an innovative portfolio of online magazines. As a startup
Internet media company, we are moving into the angel investment phase.
As editor of and contributor to Gildshire's Politics and Science &
Technology online magazines, I write interesting and informative articles
on topics of the day drawing upon my deep knowledge and experience as well

2014 – Present (1 year 7 months)Greater Chicago Area
As a Consulting Scholar I provide research, analysis and communication
strategy and execution expertise on a range of technological, social, and
political subjects. Working with the leadership of the U.S. Internet
Governance Forum, I helped develop and execute its social media strategy
for the national 2015 meeting by analyzing social media trends, identifying
key actors and hashtags, sharing relevant content, and creating new content
for targeted audiences resulting in a successful strongly attended
conference with significant follower and interaction growth. Working with
the Good Judgement Project and TechCast Global, I conducted rigorous open
source research to forecast social, political and technological trends. My
accurate insights led to continued participation in both groups along with
invited blogs. As a columnist and OpEd writer for InsideSources, I have
written cogent essays on pressing technological and political issues which
have been picked up in wider syndication. Quantitatively, I conducted
statistical analysis of a large data set to a research client measuring
global Internet readiness. This analysis revealed unseen relationships
within the data set resulting in a significant revision of the final
research before its publication and a strengthening of its findings. As a
contributor to the hi:project, I have identified new start-up funding
sources through online research and brought a global user perspective to
discussions of UX, influencing project messaging.
