If it would be helpful, I'm happy to start a google doc with these questions and input some initial ideas based on NCSG's previous submissions? There are certainly areas that will need further discussion, but having some things on paper ahead of Mumbai, particularly
 given the deadline is 20 March (post-ICANN85), could help us identify the priority areas for discussion during ICANN85. </div>
