I added my last e-mail to the end, and also marked up the draft. Note that for some reason, all of my markup was not colored. My markup isn't polished, and I don't think it has everything from my comments, but it's a start - and all I have time for at the moment. I do think that it ought to start with a statement of principles (e.g. something like what I started in my last e-mail). I hope that this is helpful. Feel free to make further changes & I'll try to check in again later.

Thanks Avri for taking a lead on this - I have added a small paragraph on trademark enforcement. I really hope we get to do this and I would like to repeat if there is any objection in sending this as an NCSG position.
