Thanks Ron. I think it would be helpful for the BC to weigh-in. From: owner-bc-gnso@icann.org [mailto:owner-bc-gnso@icann.org] On Behalf Of Ron Andruff Sent: Tuesday, July 13, 2010 10:50 AM To: 'bc - GNSO list' Subject: RE: [bc-gnso] DAGv4 Public Comment Period ends in 8-days Importance: High Dear all, I wanted to bring to the attention of the BC members that the DAGv4 Public Comment period is coming to a close Wednesday, in one week (July 21st). We commented on four aspects in our post regarding DAGv3 (found here: http://forum.icann.org/lists/3gtld-guide/msg00147.html ), to whit: * ICANN Staff Recommendations for Rights Protection Mechanisms * Translations of Strings from ASCII to Other Scripts or Languages * Revised Comparative Evaluation Scoring * Market Differentiation Between New gTLDs While I do not know (and would like to hear from others that are better informed) what happened with regard to our first issue, RPMs, I do know that our other three comments were wholly ignored by staff. I would submit to the members that we need to repost our comments with some stronger language to ensure that staff hear and react to the BC's concerns. Whatever happens, we have one week to submit our comments. Comments/thoughts? Kind regards, RA Ronald N.
