Scott,
Thank you for your comments. They are noted.
With respect to the footnotes, superscripts appear as follows (highlighted in yellow):
1. Do you believe the current mechanisms for proving use in a URS case are adequate?[1]
Footnote: “Specify the trademark(s) or service mark(s) on which the complaint is based and the goods or services with which the mark is used including evidence of use – which can be a declaration and a specimen of current use in commerce - submitted directly or by including a relevant SMD (Signed Mark Data) from the Trademark Clearinghouse;” Section 3(v). The Complaint, at: http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/urs/rules-28jun13-en.pdf; See also Section 1.2.6.1(a) and 8.1.2.1 at: http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/urs/procedure-01mar13-en.pdf
6. Do you believe the existing time frames for submitting filings in a URS proceeding are appropriate?[2]
Footnote: These are: 14 days for a response (including a right to request 7 days extension), seeking de novo review (from default) for up to six months plus an option to request an additional 6 months, and filing an appeal for up to 14 days after default or a determination. See: The Procedure: http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/urs/procedure-01mar13-en.pdf and the Rules: http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/urs/rules-28jun13-en.pdf.
Following the end of the deadline today for comments, staff will send to the WG a revised redlined document reflecting all of the comments and suggested edits, including the title and the introductory remarks provided previously by the Sub Team.
Kind regards,
Julie

Subject: [Ext] RE: REMINDER FOR REVIEW: Revised Questions to URS Practitioners - Please Comment by Tuesday, 24 April
Julie:
I am reluctant to dive back in with any more changes, but several items I believe are worth mentioning on the redline I received today.
- The centered “title” of the document is really a heading intended for the first set of questions (which has no heading) and should be moved down to the left margin as an initial heading above the first question at a left justified location similar to the un numbered headings which follow (perhaps an A, B, C, outline format would be useful, but its in PDF so can’t insert.)
- There are footnote texts at the bottom of pages 5 and 6 but I could not find the superscript notes to which they relate.
- Does the document have a title or do these questions just appear after the introductory remarks and caveat we created previously? Perhaps we should see the entire document in final.
Best regards,
Scott
