A quick check of Twitter.com found Mr. Chehade has a locked account at Twitter meaning that he is not allowing people to automatically follow him and after a quick check of Facebook its not clear if he is a member.
He does have a linkedin.com account

Yes I know what his linked in account is as I said I found it, I’m not fond of publishing people’s account info without there consent
Hello Michael,
We all know the need for more meaningful protections for Virtual Business Foundation owners than the current UDRP Scam ! This should not be as hard as everyone thinks ??
ICANN needs trust in their system more than whats currently available. The whole Industry can escape having its foundational Trust in the secondary markets Integrity in shambles. A solid Secondary Market is in their Best Interests, you would think??? Or do they have alterior motives?
Our Industry Leaders needs to Flesh them out on this issue= Big Time !

Jeff –
Are you asking for $6m and equity for USeBiz.com?
Hey Michael,
I misread your last sentence as “he doesn’t have a LinkedIn account and that prompted me to search. Would be okay if you remove my comments.
Thanks
the blind scammers leading the incompetent scammers
Good evening Michael.
We as internet entrepreneurs must stand as one against these forces that would seek to deprive us of our property. The future of eCommerce lies in our hands and other grand ecommerce innovators like Rick and Frank. Who are these shadowy ICANN forces who conspire? I don’t know, but if anyone has the right stuff to set the record straight, it’s us as domainers.
Stupendously;

Good luck to Mr Chehade, he’s coming in at a time of huge change and with ICANN under incredible pressure from Law Enforcement and national governments, hope he’s up to the challenge!
@ Scneff Jider
I have to admit this is pretty funny ! We will see who has the last laugh!
Gratefully, Jeff Schneider (Contact Group) (Metal Tiger) P.S. Do a google search with all four subsets of signature and then do one of yours. Then lets talk
@ Back in the real world

Jeff –
Ok I found your LinkedIn which says you held a job once 5 decades ago which I think you are alluding to in your last comment.
Thats about it mate. You should work on the SEO of the contact Grp because if it exists its getting outranked by your blog comments everywhere.
IANN.RIP
Seems like a good choice, even though he probably need to read up a bit about domains. Good luck to Mr Chehade.
@ Back in the world
I knew you were a mole from the S.E.O. gang whos only accomplishment is being jealous of the
real architects of the Web. I do not deal with Standard BoilerPlate such as yourself. Good luck
with your industry that deals with Smoke and Screen tactics to mislead people to JUNK sites ,you
will need it in the Sea change voice industry dead ahead that will render you and your kind
totally irrelavent.

@ Jeff Schneider “We all know the need for more meaningful protections for Virtual Business Foundation owners”
What foundation is that??
Not to mention the .com is still available….
Sheesh! A little google search and find its a term YOU made up..and only YOU seem to use. lol
Why don’t you just say “domain owners” if your going to write on blogs etc and save the confusion?
Bill
What term did you search for?
Hello Michael. or MHB or Michael H. Berkens
Thank you for steering All True Domainers in the right direction, The Secondary Markets contains the Booty, All Domainers Seek. So much for my last Comment on the $4Th!

@ Michael H Berkins…re post above-
I searched for the “Virtual Business Foundation” (as posted by the guy from the “Rockefeller Foundation”). Seems he uses this term a lot on his posts on blogs etc. as his TM.
