Much of Jay’s knowledge about the Internet is a result of a company he formed in 1997 called Iperdome, Inc. But what started out as a typical Internet venture, soon turned into a world-wide process to establish Internet Governance. As one of its most active participants, Jay testified in front of Congress, served on the IFWP Steering Committee (process resulting in ICANN), and provided Internet Governance consulting to Network Solutions.

There's been a lot of controversy over the U.S. Government's proposal to give up their supervisory role over ICANN. This lead Karl Auerbach, one of the only people ever elected to represent end-users in cyberspace, to write this letter to Congress.
