[proposed comment] Draft Proposal of the New Fellowship Program Approach

[Farell FOLLY]

Dear all,

I also agree that we put efforts (from our side) to insist on DNS policy. If there is another stakeholder that has an interest different from DNS policy, we let them do argue and defend that in their own comments.

The risk, when insisting on something that is not your main concern or priority, is that the other party can only consider this thing, forget what seems important to you, and later on; claim that it took some of your comments into account.
