Hi Steve, 
Please find enclosed my second feedback comment re auctions:

Recommendation xx Rationale 3 

Applicable text : 
At the end of the string evaluation period Applicants in contention sets will be informed of the number of other applications in their contention set , but no other information regarding the other applications will be shared.

Any applicant that wish to complete for their applied for string in an ICANN auction of last resort must submit a sealed bid for each application ( Last Resort Sealed Bids) (b) 

Cannot live with rationale. 
Agree with (b) Donna’s comment . We cannot have a situation ( as happened last time) whereby only one applicant refused to go to a private auction and thereby forced an ICANN last resort takes all auction. Have Added a time limit when it needs to be done. 

Proposed change : 
All applicants on finding  themselves in a contention set (on Reveal Day) must submit an additional  private ICANN  last resort sealed bid for each application ( Last Resort Sealed Bids)  (b) within 7 days .

( in the event that the contention set ends up being resolved by the Final ICANN auction of Last Resort , after all other options have failed).  

Many thanks,
Phil
