Re: [gtld-council] agenda for new gtld mtg - monday aug 6 - proposed

["Rosette, Kristina" <krosette@xxxxxxx>]

I can't be on the call.  I agree with Chuck's edits and have the following 
suggested edits.

Table headings should be repeated where the table covers more than one page.

P(age). 26:  Source of diagram (or data for it if staff-created) needs to be 
identified.  Connection between traffic and name space demand should be 
elaborated upon - assumption won't be clear to all.

P 30:  text of (iv) should be integrated into (v) or a footnote to it.

P 32, n46:  Sha'ban (lower case)

P 34, (ix):  Quoted language pertains to registration, which is not a 
requirement for trademark protection under US law, so section should be 
clarified.  Easiest fix is to replace "states" with "requires applicants for 
trademark registration to state under penalty of perjury". 

P 38, n 53:  Sheppard

P 39, line 2: insert "to address" between "place" and "conflicts"

Finally, the report does not contain any explanation for the inclusion in Part 
A of the full text of NCUC minority statements and Avri's statements while 
relegating remaining Constituency Statements to Part B and, even if it did, 
such an explanation  statement does not seem likely to  me to avoid potentially 
(and inadvertently) misleading readers not as engrossed in the process as we 
have been.  First, any reasons for highlighting these statements may be lost or 
blurred as readers get further into the report.  Second, the footnotes of NCUC 
full text use entire pages (58, 76-79) and readers may not recall that they are 
reading minority statements. 

It seems preferable to me that 
the full text of these statrements be in Part B with footnotes in Part A that 
state the existence of concerns or minority report on a particular point and 
specific page references to their location in Part B.  Another alternative, 
which I do not prefer ( because I do not believe it would be equally 
effective), is to include a very clear explanation as to why these statements 
are in Part A - and not Part B - and textual "markers" on the pages consisting 
of or containing primarily minority statements or other concerns.
