It is good to have several people to volunteer together and work as team so they can share the tasks such as analyzing the report, conducting some research, find previous work, proofreading and so on. I will support you during the drafting if you need any help during the whole process. <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></div></div></div></div>
