Hey all,
<div>Wanted to draw a little attention before the holiday break to three public comments that opened this week so that they don’t get lost during the next two weeks. </div>
<div>I feel like there will probably be NCSG interest for at least two out of the three and I have no indication that there will be any other public comments before January.</div>

<li>Opened most recently is this proceeding on new Trademark Clearinghouse Requirements
