Kristina

Thanks so much for those edits.

I will raise the issue of the minority statements today on the call and work out the fairest and best thing to do. I had sent a note to the group saying that I was including the minority statements and Avri's comments as it appears. From a personal perspective, I am not happy about the readability of the document with them included as is but I will wait for the group to decide.

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.

hi,

Sorry it took me until today, but last week was booked solid.  In
reading it through, i find i agree with Chuck's edits and have
little to add other then what i sent you privately about the hebrew
rn entry and table problems.

A question i have is whether recommendation 20 really belongs with
ToR 4 on contractual conditions" and not with ToR 3 on allocation
methods?

Hello Avri

Just a quick note for everyone before the meeting.  I haven't
received any other edits other than those from Chuck.  If you have
sent me something then please send again and I'll be sure to check
the junk filter.

Kind regards.
