Additional Notes on Agenda Item #2: · You can find the full list of final TMCH Charter questions and their categories here: https://community.icann.org/x/2CWAAw. · Staff has also compiled a wiki page containing background information, operational requirements and other relevant materials on the TMCH: https://community.icann.org/x/0AusAw. For Agenda Item #3, please refer to the compilation of responses received so far from 3 registry operators (attached for recirculation; a copy can also be downloaded from https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/61606228/Registry%20Respons...). Please note that the co-chairs and staff are working on getting the same questions out in a survey format, to see if additional responses may be forthcoming from other registry operators. Thanks and cheers Mary
