<h1><b>ICANN Hires First Consumer Safeguards Director</b></h1><br><br>
LOS ANGELES – 23 May 2017 – ICANNannounced today that Bryan Schilling
will be joining as the organization's first Consumer Safeguards Director,
reporting directly to Jamie Hedlund, SVP Contractual Compliance and
Consumer Safeguards. Bryan brings over 15 years of international law and
government affairs experience to ICANN, the majority of which is derived
from working on data privacy and technology issues in the global law
enforcement and security space.<br><br>
Speaking about the role, Schilling commented, "Over the years, I've
developed a passion for finding ways to balance the competing rights and
needs of individual users, businesses, intellectual property owners and
law enforcement."<br><br>
He went on to add, "I'm excited to bring that passion to Jamie's
team and to the ICANNcommunity to raise awareness of ICANN's current
safeguards, facilitate discussion across stakeholders concerning
additional ways ICANN could potentially improve its safeguard mechanisms
and help the community formulate other collaborative means to address
illegal, infringing, and abusive activity impacting the
DNS."<br><br>
A wide array of strong, experienced candidates applied for the role, but
Schilling stood out due to his work on Internet public policy issues with
industry, civil society and government. "Bryan's experience, energy
and passion are a great addition to ICANN," said Hedlund. "He
will hit the ground running, meeting with stakeholders in Johannesburg
and afterwards to catalyze the community discussion on consumer
safeguards. Bryan will apply his strong analytical and engagement skills
to facilitate community dialogue on the efficacy of existing consumer
safeguards, potential enhancements, limits on ICANN's authority and
expertise, and voluntary initiatives to combat abuse."<br><br>
For several years, Bryan served as an Assistant General Counsel with the
United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Office of General
Counsel. Working in the agency's National Security Law Branch, he
collaborated with U.S. and international law enforcement officers,
prosecutors and analysts on cross-border terrorism matters. He also
provided legal support to criminal and cyber investigations including
matters impacting the Internet and the Domain NameSystem.<br><br>
After the FBI, Bryan went on to work for global technology and
manufacturing companies, including Microsoft and Google. In those roles,
he worked with his colleagues, non-governmental organizations, industry
counterparts and government agencies on cross-border regulatory
compliance matters, cybersecurity, privacy, transparency, and legal
issues surrounding government access to user data.<br><br>
Bryan began his legal career in private practice in Washington, D.C. and
he is a graduate of the George Washington University School of Law and
the University of Cincinnati's College of Arts and Sciences.<br><br>
Bryan will work out of ICANN's Los Angeles office starting 1 June
2017.<br><br>
