Hi Niels,

I think this idea is a very good one. I have been worried that we did 
not submit a comment to the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Working 
Group, especially on Community Groups. A few weeks ago, Avri was kind 
enough to answer my questions about this, and encourage our NCSG 
participation. I think it is the perfect time to submit a comment -- 
even a little late!

But quick note, at least in the US, next week is big end of summer 
vacation week and traditionally very quiet. Perhaps allowing a week for 
comment would enable more people to participate.

Best and tx to you, Vidushi and the CCWP HR,

Kathy
