I would support filing comments on the DAG 4 if there is enough time. I'm happy to work with others on this to meet the deadline as we are in the process of preparing our own comments. Sarah Sarah B.

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.
