Re: [alac] Comments on New TLD Paper

[Bret Fausett <bfausett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Denise,

I looked back over the ICANN document at:

   http://icann.org/tlds/new-gTLD-questions.pdf

and it's not entirely clear to me that ICANN is seeking 'comments on the 
questions' as opposed to 'answers to the questions.' This statement 
isn't exactly clear on that point either:

   http://icann.org/announcements/announcement-06jul05.htm

though it does say the paper is "also intended to solicit public 
comments on the completeness of the list of questions therein as well as 
on the consultation matrix enclosed." I take it that your comment below 
comes from someone who should know?
