William "Bill" Mushkin is the CEO of Name.com, an ICANN-accredited domain registrar and web hosting company.[1]He is also the Founder and former President of Mushkin Inc.[2]

In a letter dated December 8th, Bill, along with twenty-seven other domain name industry participants, wrote to Sen. Jay Rockefeller and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison to support ICANN's new gTLD program, in response to the Senate Hearings taking place on the same day. They supported ICANN's argument that the program would be innovative and economically beneficial, and that the program had taken lots of people a long time to develop, hence it had not been rushed.[3] Read the letter here.
