She is also a Faculty Fellow of the AU Internet Governance Law and a Fellow of the AU School of Communications Center for Media & Social Impact.
Professor Kleiman is a recognized leader in Internet governance. She was part of the group that formed the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), a co-founder of ICANN’s Noncommercial Users Constituency and a member of the final drafting for the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (global rules of domain name dispute arbitration). Professor Kleiman has served on numerous ICANN committees and task forces, including ones dedicated to privacy of domain name registration data in the WHOIS databases and fair and balanced policies for protection of intellectual property and free speech in the domain name system. Kleiman currently serves as co-chair of ICANN’s Review of All Rights Protections Mechanisms Policy Development Process Working Group, a group dedicated to the review of protections created to protect trademarks during the creation of future new top level domains.
Before joining academia, Professor Kleiman worked in the law firm of Fletcher, Heald & Hildreth in Arlington, Virginia. She co-founded and co-led its Internet Law & Policy Group which handled a range of Internet law and policy matters for large and small companies throughout the world. Professor Kleiman also served as Director of Policy for The Public Interest Registry which runs the .ORG top level domain.
Her research interests include Internet governance, development of private multistakeholder models for global technology policy, protection of intellectual property and free speech online, cross-border data flows and privacy laws, clinical education, ethics and artificial intelligence. She speaks on these issues in forums around the world, including global/regional Internet governance convenings.
In addition to law, Professor Kleiman pursues a research interest in early women in computing. Her documentary, The Computers: The Remarkable Story of the ENIAC Programmers, premiered at the Seattle International Film Festival and features her interviews with four of the original six women who programmed ENIAC, the world’s first modern computer, as part of a secret US Army WWII project. Kleiman actively participates in STEM activities (science, technology, engineering and math) around the world to encourage young women and men to explore careers in technology and technology law.
