<div>Dear All,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have not heard further on whether C.8.2 is also required to be addressed. I understand Paul is fine without it and is focused on C.8.3. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Could someone please advise?</div>

<div>My issue is C8.3 - which has not been addressed ... specifically the</div>

<div>During a call today C8.2 was raised ... this is not my issue and it may</div>

<div>> Thanks for the clarification. Paul Kane separately emailed and referred to C.8.3 (which tracks the language originally quoted below). Is it also C.8.2 or just C.8.3?</div>

<div>> Hi Sharon, </div>
<div>> Paul's concerns is actually relating to Section C.8.2. - 8.3. in the NTIA/ICANN contract and not the C.2.9.2 and this seems not be covered by the proposed language.</div>
