<div>Dear All:</div><div><br></div><div>NCSG has a new calendar to help keep track of important meetings, deadlines, key comment periods, etc. Check it out here:</div><div> <a href="https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/NCSG+Calendar">https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/NCSG+Calendar</a></div><div><br></div><div>Also see ICANN Comments open:</div><div> <a href="http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment">http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment</a></div><div><br></div><div>Below are 4 open comment periods that NCSG should submit a comment on to ICANN before the final deadlines. It would be great if we could get a small team of NCSG members to work together on drafting a comment for each issue below. Of course people are always encouraged to send in their own personal comment, irrespective of any group comment.</div><div><br></div><div>Are there any volunteers for members who would like to form a drafting team for any of the issues below? I'm sure the NCSG Policy Committees can provide some guidance on these issues and NCSG perspectives as well.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Robin</div><div><br></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;">ISSUE:</span></b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/tmch-docs-24sep12-en.htm">Trademark Clearinghouse Documents</a></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>Comment Closed: 15 October</div><div>Reply Close: 7 November 2012</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; "><div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><div><a href="http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/ioc-rcrc-recommendations-28sep12-en.htm">Protection of International Olympic Committee (IOC) / Red Cross Names (RCRC) Drafting Team – Recommendations</a> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>Comment Closed</div><div>Reply Close: 9 November 2012</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/stratplan-draft-2013-24sep12-en.htm">Community Input Draft 2013-2016 Strategic Plan </a></div><div>Comment Close: 13 November 2012 </div><div>Reply Close: 4 December 2012</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/afc-ccaoi-piacc-10oct12-en.htm">Application for New GNSO Constituency Candidacy-"Public Internet Access/Cybercafe Ecosystem"</a></div><div>Comment Close: 17 November 2012 </div><div>Reply Close: 17 December 2012</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; "><div>IP JUSTICE</div><div>Robin Gross, Executive Director</div><div>1192 Haight Street, San Francisco, CA 94117 USA</div><div>p: +1-415-553-6261 f: +1-415-462-6451</div><div>w: <a href="http://www.ipjustice.org">http://www.ipjustice.org</a> e: <a href="mailto:robin@ipjustice.org">robin@ipjustice.org</a></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </div><br></div></body></html>
