Hi Caleb,

Here is the draft comment that I propose to send out for to the various
Policy teams within the NCSG for comment.  I do not know who is on the PC
FO to send it to so please can you send this to them for me. Also not sure
of your particular style or not.

Peter and I have editing writes, but everyone has commenting rights.  What
we might want to do if we run out of time before the deadline is to post a
draft first and then replace it with the approved and ratified one later

I am interested in seeing your opinion on this

Best,

Judith

Hi Judith,

Thank you for coming up with this.

Since we have a short timeline, can we put the draft in a google doc and
ask that you share it with the PC FO input and feedback.

One thing we can request through the PC is ask them to write ICANN for a
little extension as it takes the entire PC a while to provide feedback and
ratify public comments that  represents the NCSG's views.

Happy to see @Akinremi Peter Taiwo <compsoftnet at gmail.com> joining you to
take a lead on this.
I'm sure he can provide you with some NCSG perspective to support the
arguments that will be put forward.

Caleb
