    <p>Hi all,</p>
    <p>I have a couple of comments:</p>
    <p>1) I have hard time making sense of the first point:</p>
    <p><font size="-2">"1. Registry Response, Responsible Parties<br>
        <br>
         “ROs are not necessarily the best parties to address certain
        security threats. The identification of the parties considered
        as being most relevant and appropriate in resolving the security
        threat is critical to the prompt resolution of the matter.”<br>
        <br>
        More specifically, responsibility of identifying security
        threats connected to New gTLDs and resolving them when possible
        rests with ROs."</font></p>
    <p>As this point is a part of the comment that refers to the "issue"
      I wonder what is this - a statement? What kind of issue is
      identified here? Are we recommending anything?  If not and if this
      is just an introduction, may be it's better to rephrase? May be
      it's just too late here but I struggling with what this "issue"
      implies. <br>
    </p>
    <p>2) I wonder if this one is really in line with NSCG values such
      as due process: <br>
    </p>
    <p><font size="-2">2. We ask you to consider including the following
        GAC recommendation in Registry Response:<br>
        <br>
        “If Registry operator identifies risk of  harm, Registry
        operator will notify the relevant registrar and , if the
        registrar does not take immediate action, suspend the domain
        name until the matter is resolved.” </font><br>
    </p>
    <p>The framework already lists the actions that Registry can take
      even in the case if "a negative or non-existent response from the
      Registrar", which "should not<br>
      preclude the Registry from taking action". I do not like the
      notion of "immediate action" as it sound to vague to me and I
      believe that there are enough actions listed to address the issue
      under the framework rather than suspension of domain name - again,
      "till the matter is resolved" looks too vague. I don't think it's
      acceptable when it comes to such a matter as a suspension of
      domain name. I know enough cases of mistakes when due to abuse
      claims customers went dark, etc. I suggest we rather be careful
      here. But if everyone is comfortable with this suggestion, I'll
      surrender. <br>
    </p>
    <p>Warm regards,</p>
    <p>Tanya <br>
