The draft response can be found at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z8JPTXIQHDBGveCIsw_gxQQG_4ZwC5KnLStNBSj66x0/edit . I am also attaching a PDF version for those who cannot readily access the Google Doc. Also attached for your convenience is the full GNSO letter. I also note that similar letters went to the GAC, SSAC and the DNS Abuse Institute.

We will be reviewing the document at the CPWG meeting on Wednesday.

This is just a draft, but hopefully covers the main points. For those who have a strong knowledge of the subject, we need specific references to prior research and reports on the subject.

Comments. Please make suggestions via comments and not changes to the text. This will allow others to easily see the original text and your suggestions. I will try to update the document to incorporate feedback prior to the meeting.

ALAC Members: Note that this is the last CPWG meeting prior to the submission deadline and we will be asking for a approval to proceed during the CPWG meeting.
