Donuts vice president Mason Cole has quit to join a law firm.
Cole said on social media yesterday that he has joined Seattle-based Perkins Coie as an “Internet Governance Advisor”.
He said he will continue to participate in ICANN in his new capacity, where Perkins Coie is involved in intellectual property matters.
Cole has been in the industry for over 15 years, first at SnapNames and Oversee.net before becoming a founding employee of new gTLD registry player Donuts.
He was most recently VP communications and industry relations there.
He’s not a lawyer, but he does have extensive experience on the Generic Names Supporting Organization, including being its first liaison to the Governmental Advisory Committee.
Congratulations, Mason & Perkins Cole!
So, I guess this must be Cole’s law!
