                Gelder became part of the ICANN community in 1999 when
                he co-founded Indom, a French registrar that was later
                acquired by Group NBT in 2010. He subsequently formed an
                independent consulting firm, and also worked at
                StartingDot before it was acquired by Afilias in 2016.
                During all of those years Stephane served in numerous
                leadership roles, including as GNSO Council
                Representative for the RrSG and GNSO Council Chair
                (2010-2012), Nominating Committee representative and
                Chair (2015), and RySG Vice Chair of Policy (2015-2018).
                Throughout, Stephane strove to work across

                the RrSG, the RySG, GNSO Council, and the Nominating

                rise above partisan politicking and seek consensus. In
                particular, his service on the NomCom required that he
                engage with people from other backgrounds, cultures and
                interests in order to achieve the group’s goals and best
                serve the ICANN community.</p>

                Stephane also contributed countless hours on Policy
