An NCUC policy committee will also streamline feedback to GNSO WGs when they ask for input from constituencies on WG charter questions, which is a regular request sent out early on in the work process of both PDP and non-PDP WGs.<br><br><blockquote type="cite">and it seemed some members had a keen interest in.

However, if I’m not mistaken, the discussion that was taking place here a few weeks ago was focused more on what would be done with the revenues collected as a result of the auctions. This public comment period is concerned with the actual auction and bidding process and rules, not how revenues will be spent. I’m not sure where or when the discussion on the latter topic will take place, but I’ll try to do some digging on that too.<br><br><blockquote type="cite">I’m hopeful at least that in the next few days we will have new reps for that to replace last years’ folks.<br></blockquote><br>Good luck with that.
