Dear All,

Please find the first draft comment to the gTLD Subsequent Procedure WG at this link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1c1IC7-KJz12XuDBFeEYiDMoh8I1ibks_McW0XqHh_nw/edit?usp=sharing

While the request was extremely detailed with six subjects and specific questions under each, due to paucity of time, this draft only discusses over arching human rights concerns.

I look forward to your feedback and comments.

Best,

Vidushi
