<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>That is great – so far the team has Carlos, Mary, Robin and myself. I am planning to finish reading the 2nd draft today and I will start compiling some comments. I am hoping to have a first draft ready some time next week and I will circulate it to all three of you (if no one else has joined until then). If you have any issues of thoughts that you would like to share at this stage please do let me know.<BR>

<BR>
So count me in, especially on that specific legal question.<BR>

Hi Robin: count me in for the draft team of the NCUC comments. It is important that we address other issues that our current MAPO ones and community and IPR are certainly good ones to start with. Feel free to write me so that we can slipt the work.<BR>

Assunto: Comments on New gTLD Applicant Guidebook (V2)<BR>
<BR>
ICANN is accepting Public Comments on the New Gtld Applicant <BR>
Guidebook Version 2 until 13 April 2009.<BR>
<BR>
As we discussed in our mtg in Mexico, we will submit brief comments <BR>
on those issues that continue to concern us in the latest version <BR>
(v2) of the Guidebook (MAPO, "community", costs, IPR, etc).<BR>
<BR>
Are there any volunteers to work with Konstantinos and me on a small <BR>
NCUC drafting team to create comments on the new gtld applicant <BR>
guidebook version 2?<BR>
<BR>
Here is more info on the issue:<BR>
