<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Constantia","serif";color:#1F497D">The deadline for the public comment period of the defensive registrations of domain names is today. I have drafted a short comment on it – unfortunately, I don’t
have any time to devote on this. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Constantia","serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Constantia","serif";color:#1F497D">The comments are drafted as NCUC ones and I am asking the NCUC EC to review them and inform me whether they can be send on behalf of the whole constituency (there
is simply no time for this to get on the list). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Constantia","serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Constantia","serif";color:#1F497D">I am cc’ing here also the NCSG PC to see whether this can acquire rough consensus so the comments can be send on behalf of NCSG instead.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Constantia","serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Constantia","serif";color:#1F497D">Please send me any comments/amendments or just your OK as soon as possible as the deadline is today. In any case and if you don’t agree with these I will amend and
send them on my personal capacity.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
