Biography

James Gould is a fellow in Verisign’s technology services group and is responsible for the architecture and technical direction of the domain name registry services. He is involved in the engineering of the domain name registry services and interfacing with the domain name registry industry technologists on industry solutions and standards. He has developed expertise in the Domain Name System, application architecture, protocol development, applications programming, and information security. He is a document author in the REGEXT group.

James has more than 20 years of experience in the domain name registry industry, and prior to Verisign, he held management and engineering positions with Synxis, Microlog, and Intergraph. He has more than 30 years of experience in the technical industry with different levels of engineering, technical leadership, and management responsibilities.

James is an author of multiple Internet Engineering Task Force RFCs and many IETF internet-drafts associated with the domain name registry industry. These include extensions to the Extensible Provisioning Protocol, data escrow format, EPP to Registration Data Access Protocol status mapping, and bulk data file format. EPP is the standard protocol for the registration and management of internet infrastructure data, including domain names, and it is the protocol used between the domain name registrars and the domain name registry. During his 20 years at Verisign, he has created approximately 30 proprietary and IETF EPP extensions solving many different technical and business problems.

James holds a Bachelor of Science in computer science from the University of Maryland and a Master of Business Administration in finance from The George Washington University.
