I believe members of the ccNSO also already participate (even if not identified as such on the list of participants), since many ccTLD operators also have an interest in new gTLDs. The PDP work has been underway for some months considering overarching issues, and the working group is now breaking into work tracks to focus on specific groupings of related issues. Country and territory names fall within the Legal/Regulatory work track and would sensibly be dealt with by that work track when it considers other, related, issues around the reservation of names, including <u>other</u> geographic names which are not within the scope of this CWG, and names with other sensitivity (which are not geo names). <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style='text-align:justify'><span class=apple-converted-space><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p><p style='text-align:justify'><span class=apple-converted-space><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;background:white'>thanks<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style='text-align:justify'><span class=apple-converted-space><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#333333;background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p><p style='text-align:justify'><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Susan</span><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#76923C'>Susan Payne<br>Head of Legal Policy</span></b><b><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'> </span></b><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>| </span><b><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#C39209'>Valideus Ltd<br></span></b><b><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#76923C'><br></span></b><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>E: <a href="mailto:susan.payne@valideus.com"><span style='color:#76923C;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>susan.payne@valideus.com</span></a> </span><b><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#76923C'><br></span></b><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>D: +44 20 7421 8255</span><b><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#76923C'><br></span></b><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>T: +44 20 7421 8299</span><b><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#76923C'><br></span></b><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>M: +44 7971 661175<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#C39209'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#6D6E68'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-GB style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#76923C'>Valideus August Public Holiday Opening Hours<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#76923C'>The Valideus offices will be closed for a UK public holiday on Monday 29th August, reopening on Tuesday 30<sup>th</sup> August 2016.</span><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#76923C'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#76923C'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'> <a href="mailto:ctn-crosscom-bounces@icann.org">ctn-crosscom-bounces@icann.org</a> [<a href="mailto:ctn-crosscom-bounces@icann.org">mailto:ctn-crosscom-bounces@icann.org</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Annebeth Lange<br><b>Sent:</b> 24 August 2016 08:24<br><b>To:</b> Heather Forrest;
