Dear Alan: We regret not being able to connect with you directly on this important matter. Accordingly we have copied your EURALO colleagues in the hope that they share our interest in pending EU trademark reform trilogue, which stands to have a direct and potentially negative impact on at-large Internet users from the European geographic region.

We did not see any mention of the topic on pertinent listservs made publicly available by the ALAC, and were wondering whether you are in a position to confirm receipt, provide an update, or would prefer to discuss the letter with us in greater detail. We look forward to hearing from you soon. Best regards, Brian Brian J.

We were hoping that you might be able to broach with the ALAC an emergent topic for public comment, namely the ongoing EU trademark reform Trilogue. We have attached for your consideration fairly comprehensive information, and we are happy to send along any additional information you may need, or discuss this matter with you in greater detail. We look forward to hearing from you, and seeing you again during ICANN 52 next year. Thank you, Brian Brian J.
