I agree with Donna, and feel it’s important that we leave this statement in our response. Thanks — J.

I think it’s important that our response reflect that while the ccNSO could have initiated a PDP on country and territory names, they chose not to. However, they did establish a CCWG. The language is not intended to be adversarial. It is intended to be factual to ensure that the Board understands that despite the GAC advice, which was provided some years ago, the ccNSO chose a CCWG rather a PDP as the mechanism to consider country and territory names as TLDs. I personally think this is important and would prefer to leave the language as it is. Donna From: Rafik Dammak [mailto:rafik.dammak@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, July 29, 2017 3:59 PM To: James M.

I think we are already making about point and such statement can be perceived as adversarial. I would like to suggest to remove it and that won't change the substance of our response.

Looks good! A minor typo - I assume that in "With respect to that position we note that rather than initiative a ccNSO PDP on country and territory names", it should read "initiate" instead of "initiative"?
