[PC-NCSG] ICANN News Alert -- Draft Report on New gTLD Program Safeguards to Mitigate DNS Abuse Available for Public Comment

Wed Mar 16 21:23:15 EET 2016

Hi Kathy, thank you for raising this topic. Amr, I completely share your
views on that. In my understanding, the reviews should offer information
and data for the policy development process. They should serve the PDP and
not be a way to bypass it. We should include this point in our contribution
to the public comment period.

Who would be interested to be part of a team to work on NCSG's contribution
to this public comment?

Best!
Mar?lia
