    Hi,<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    As the the 2nd draft for comment will be released shortly, the final
    draft is attached. <br>
    <br>
    and we will have 28 days to comment.<br>
    <br>
    I recommend that anyone interested start with these webinars.<br>
    And if you can't catch it live, I recommend you watch it later.<br>
    <br>
    We have talked about having a NCSG specific Webinar or CWG &
    CCWG.  What I would like to suggest is that the NCSG Webinar presume
    that people have seen the ICANN webinar, so that when we meet, we
    can focus on questions and thorny issues.<br>
    <br>
    enjoy<br>
