An independent domain name Consultant not affiliated with a specific Registrar

My experience as a Corporate Registrant then working for Corporate and Retail Registrars allows me to offer experienced independent consulting (I do not sell domain names). One day per week I work within your company dealing directly with your people to solve problems related to domain names:

I help brands face the new gTLD wave with most of their questions:

"Who" is doing "what" in my industry?
How do I prepare before a new domain name extension is launching?
How do I track all launchings?
Which domain names should I (or not) register?
How should I protect my brands and where do I start?
What is the use of the Trademark Clearinghouse? How do I proceed?

Domain name monitoring;
I write domain name policies;
I help recover domain names: it is not just a matter of paying a cybersquatter or a domainer. It happens the right speech solves many problems according to who calls and who picks up the phone;
Internal organization within the company for large domain name portfolios: how to organize? Who does what? How to simplify the registration process? With coming new gTLDs, how to centralize the domain name activity?
Change Registrar (and monitor the changing if necessary);
Domain name portfolio analysis and cost killing.

What I do not do:

I do not work for free.
