Thanks Justine. I hope that you and others will review the language about "quasi-official organizations" and others weighing in on the Nexus between the community and the string applied for. Folks seem concerned about community applicants doing the gaming, but the potential for gaming is higher here because the competitor who has applied for the same string and is not a community applicant need only hire a smart lawyer to form a new "quasi-official" organization to file a letter opposing the nexus and the application. There will apparently be no requirement to disclose what money and what party is actually behind such a "quasi-official" organization. This language opens the door to the worst sort of gaming (by the non-community competitor) and we need to avoid it. Wish we could all keep in mind that for legitimate objectors, we have the Community Objection. I don't think anyone on the IRT should be trying to save an Objector from having to file. It's the remedy that Sub Pro affirmed.

Dear Jared,

Thanks for this but I'm afraid I can't make the call later and hence request for time over the weekend to provide comments to the language changes you speak of and any further changes arising from today's call.

Kind regards, Justine ---------

Dear IRT members,

Also wanted to note that we have made changes to the CPE language based on our discussion yesterday. We can review those changes today.
