It was response to a GAC advice and the ICANN board returning back the recommendations delivered by the working group previously. It is also about an issue that NCSG made a position few year ago in term of process: names protection for redcross. </span><br></div><div><br></div><div>You can find more details about the background of this public comment and the initial report here <a href="https://www.icann.org/public-comments/red-cross-protection-initial-2018-06-21-en">https://www.icann.org/public-comments/red-cross-protection-initial-2018-06-21-en</a>. To kick-off the discussion I created this google doc: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/19xnBgqFoH4eOzgeMQug9y_2oXsCPka6efc9C7TjNQDg/edit">https://docs.google.com/document/d/19xnBgqFoH4eOzgeMQug9y_2oXsCPka6efc9C7TjNQDg/edit</a> .</div><div><br></div><div>Please let me know offlist if you want to volunteer for the drafting. It is good to have several people to volunteer together and work as team so they can share the burden. I will support you during the drafting if you need any help. It is also a policy matter and so an opportunity to learn about issues discussed before and understand why positions were made on them.<br></div><div><br></div><div>You can find previous public comment submitted by NCSG here <a href="https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Public+Comments+-+2018" style="background-color:rgb(184,234,184)" target="_blank">https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Public+Comments+-+2018</a> and listing those who drafted them.</div><div><br></div><div>Best Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Rafik Dammak</div><div><br></div><div>NCSG Policy Committee Chair </div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div>
