Hi Sharon

Thank you for reviewing the public comments.  As for next steps, please would you prepare a summary for the Review Team, as follows:

1. Propose amendments to the definitions, based on comments received and/or
2. Suggest explanatory text which makes the subgroup's reasoning clearer (sometimes you get comments which are things you have considered in preparing your document, and you just need to explain why you chose to do something different) or
3. Where you cannot accept a comment, please provide reasoning

This is a task where two heads (or more) are infinitely better than one - no offence, Sharon! - and I suggest that you work within the law enforcement subgroup in discussing the comments, and what you intend to take on board or otherwise.

So, I suggest that you work with Kim, and Lutz.  If anyone else wants to be involved in this process, who is not also involved in a similar process with one of the other definitional subteams, please volunteer.

Best,

Emily

NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED

I have reviewed the comments in relation to law enforcement. There were seven comments from:
 
Business Constituency
Coalition against Unsolicited Commercial email
European Communities Trademark Association + Marques
Intellectual Property Constituency
Lexinta
Registrar Stakeholder Group
Volodya
 
Only the Business Constituency were happy with the law enforcement definition, with all others suggesting some admendments or significant changes.
 
Emily/Anyone - what are the next steps please?  The original defination was as a result of our small subgroup, Kim, Lutz and I - where we came up with the definition and prepared a questionnaire.  Peter is currently looking at the questionnaire before we ask the RT to approve me sending it to my law enforcement network and Peter submitting to his GAC colleagues for their network.
