1 Testimony of Paul Stahura Founder of Enom and Chief Strategy Officer for Demand Media House Committee on the Judiciary, Subcom
Testimony of Paul Stahura Founder of eNom and Chief Strategy Officer for Demand Media House Committee on the Judiciary, Subcommittee on Courts and Competition Policy Hearing on the Expansion of Top Level Domains and its Effects on Competition September 23, 2009 Chairman Johnson, Ranking Member Coble, Members of the subcommittee: good morning and thank you for inviting me to testify today. I am the Founder of eNom, a Bellevue, WA based corporation and domain name registrar. Registrars are companies which are authorized by ICANN to sell domain names like pizza.com or fightcancer.org. eNom is also a provider of websites and email services. eNom is the second largest ICANN accredited domain name registrar, by volume, in the world. It powers over 10 million domain names on its platform and connects Internet users to websites two billion times each day. Our executives have been involved in nearly every aspect of the domain name system from technical, policy and business perspectives at both registries and registrars, and dating back to the early years of Internet commerce before ICANN even existed. eNom’s parent company is Demand Media, a company that develops, promotes, and distributes web content. It is a top-25 web property worldwide in terms of unique visitors to its network of Internet media properties such as eHow.com. Livestrong.com, trails.com, and golflink.com. Demand Media is also the largest distributor of videos to YouTube and is widely considered to be at the forefront of social media. I started eNom in 1997 in my garage in Redmond, Washington with one small computer on an ISDN line, and now the company is one of the largest domain name registrars in the world with hundreds of employees, loads of servers in five locations and millions of domain names under our management. -
