'''Clément Genty''' is an independent French researcher at Arts & Metiers ParisTech in industrial engineering and lecturer at the University of Angers. His research focuses on the financial and extrafinancial valuation of [[Domain Name|domain names]]. Genty holds a PhD from Arts & Metiers ParisTech and an Engineering degree. He is particularly interested in the technical function of the domain name and its [[Domain Name Valuation|value]].
'''Clément Genty''' is an independent French researcher at Arts & Metiers ParisTech in industrial engineering and lecturer at the University of Angers. His research focuses on the financial and extra-financial valuation of [[Domain Name|domain names]]. Genty holds a PhD from Arts & Metiers ParisTech and an Engineering degree. He is particularly interested in the technical function of the domain name and its [[Domain Name Valuation|value]].
At ICANN58, he suggested the creation of new [[TLD]] based on the unused .FX [[Country code top-level domain|ccTLD]] to create a trusted space<ref>http://schd.ws/hosted_files/icann58copenhagen2017/17/4.%20Clement%20Genty-F-ICANN58.pdf</ref>. During the Public Forum, he asked for a better understanding of the Domain Name System, citing his mother who doesn't understand anything. At the end of its answer, [[Göran Marby]], CEO of ICANN added "''Good luck with your mother and explaining it. My mother is 85 and she never figured out what I do or why''"<ref>https://schd.ws/hosted_files/icann58copenhagen2017/60/I58CPH_Thu16Mar2017-Public%20Forum%202-en.pdf</ref>.

At the French version of the ''Three Minutes Thesis'' competition, named ''My Thèse en 180 secondes'', he explained the [[Domaining|Domain Name Industry]] from the point of view of the ccTLD economy and suggested the creation of a [[New gTLD]], the .FRANCE to recreate trust over the [[Domain Name System]].

Genty's first year in Master of Science in engineering at [http://www.polytech-angers.fr/en/index.html IstiA] in Angers leaded him to work in several factories including the French brand Louis Vuitton where he got once a remark about his personal life, displayed on the Internet. The HR made a mistake by thinking it was him while it was an homonym too talkative on the Internet. Genty registered its first and family name as trademark<ref> Trademark number 4052269</ref> and some domain names. Its passion for the importance of domain names began by this story.

Genty worked as a Innovation officer for the American Chamber of Commerce in Dushanbe, Tajikistan<ref>http://www.amcham.tj/images/1Final-newsletter-AmCham.pdf</ref> where he developped assistance to the establishment of American companies on Tajik soil. Genty helped the French community, the smallest one in the world with less than 40 people. Genty worked with the Tajik registrar [http://promotion.tj/ Promotion] and had some exchanges with [http://www.nic.tj/contacts.html Information Technology Center], the [[.TJ]] domain [[registry]].

After buying a velocipede from the Chief Information Security Officer of the French registrar [https://www.nameshield.com/en/ Nameshield], Genty worked for this company during five years, first as an engineer and then as a researcher, addressing the evolution of naming rules, the resilience of the Internet and the valuation of domain names as intangible assets.

Graduated in 2015 from Istia with an ''Engineering degree'', Genty began a doctoral thesis at Arts & Métiers ParisTech<ref>https://artsetmetiers.fr/en</ref> the following year.

In his thesis<ref>https://pastel.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-02193976</ref>, Genty studied scientific publications, popular articles, commercial services including [https://www.estibot.com/ Estibot], [https://www.freevaluator.com/ Freevaluator], [http://www.domainappraisal.org/ Domain Appraisal], [https://domainindex.com/ Domainindex], [https://www.domraider.com/ Domraider], [https://www.siteprice.org/ Siteprice] [https://www.godaddy.com/domain-value-appraisal GoDaddy] and several patents, most of them filed by [[GoDaddy]].

After performing different PCAs, Genty highlighted the correlation effect of price with length, number of words and [[TLD]]. However, the prediction of value proved impossible, with a R² too low to be usable.

For Genty, it is not possible to estimate the domain name value at 1-2-3 and 4 characters in the [[.COM]] [[TLD]]. He thus proposed<ref>http://observatoire-immateriel.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/160422_ISO_NDD_Nameshield.pdf</ref> sales ranges and a human analysis while he recommended value equations for the other lengths.

On the other hand, in France, Genty's country, ccTLD management is still not regulated, some ccTLDs are still not managed by France ([[.GP]], [[.gf|.GF]], [[.MQ]]), or not managed at all ([[.BL]], [[.CP]], [[.FX]], [[.mf|.MF]]).

== Deletion of ccTLD ==
Genty is opposed to the deletion of ccTLD. He quoted on his thesis the example of the Chagos Islands, [[.IO]], and on Nameshield's blog the case of the Swaziland, [https://blog.nameshield.com/fr/2018/04/23/swaziland-le-pays-qui-change-de-nom-et-dextension/ .SZ] and Kazakhstan, [https://blog.nameshield.com/fr/2017/03/02/extensions-pays-alphabet-et-code-iso-et-si-le-kazakhstan-changeait-dalphabet-que-deviendrait-le-ke/ .KZ].
In ICANN's calls for comments, Genty [https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/comments-ccnso-pdp3-retire-cctlds-05may20/2020q2/000001.html opposed] the deletion of old ccTLD codes, citing the examples of [[.tv|.TV]] and [[.SU]]. [https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/comments-ccnso-pdp3-retire-cctlds-05may20/2020q3/000002.html Supported] by [[Evgeny Kuskevich]], Genty benefited from ICANN's return, suggesting not the deletion of ccTLDs, "''additional conditions should be taken into account which may call for the preservation of the ccTLD, specifically: The ccTLD can still be of commercial, cultural, historical or other relevant use for a broad community and /or if there is a clear successor state, as recognized by United Nations, then the government of this state may show willingness and interest to go on with supporting the ccTLD, which otherwise could be retired''"[https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/report-comments-ccnso-pdp3-retire-cctlds-31jul20-en.pdf].

== Sale of the .ORG TLD ==
Genty is opposed to the sale of the [[.org|.ORG]] [[Top-Level Domain|TLD]]. In 2019, he has developped a webpage in French, [https://www.sauvonslepointorg.org SAUVONSLEPOINTORG.ORG], similar to the one of the [[EFF]], [https://savedotorg.org/ SAVEDOTORG.ORG]. In contrast to the EFF, Genty is not opposed to the sale between two private parties but to the opacity of the sale, taken without consultation with the general public. In his [[EOI]] written for the election to the [[EURALO|Euralo]] Board of Directors, Genty stated that [[ICANN]] was in the ''FIFAization'' phase<ref>https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/123797525/Genty-Euralo2020.pdf</ref>.

=== Nameshield (2014-2019) ===
Worked as a research engineer for the French registrar [[Nameshield]]. Within Nameshield, Genty was interested in naming strategies, this French registrar being specialized in B2B. He has published articles on the valuation of domain names, on naming evolutions and has proposed<ref>https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01868217/document</ref> the Iceberg matrix, considering that a domain name has an emerged part, its semantics, and an immersed part, which he calls criticality (links, traffic, SEO,...). He has published nearly forty articles on the company's blog, in English<ref>https://blog.nameshield.com/blog/author/clgenty/</ref> and in French<ref>https://blog.nameshield.com/fr/author/clgenty/</ref>. During his work, Genty passed a drone pilot license to show<ref>https://blog.nameshield.com/fr/2018/11/14/comment-je-suis-devenu-un-professionnel-de-lair-en-15-minutes/</ref> that it was easy to register a domain name in [[.AERO]].

== Anecdotes ==
Registered on eBay since 2002, Genty uses the nickname Hotguy372, used in the series Friends by Joey<ref>https://tvquot.es/friends/quote/xbhyjx/</ref>.
As a candidate in the municipal elections in Meursault, France, Genty used the [[domain hack]] [http://www.Meursau.lt meursau.lt] as a campaign site. Faced with the winemakers' misunderstanding, he changed to a more traditional domain name.
