<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:13px">Understood Milton. In fact I sincerely believe that if the NTIA or the ICANN Board has a problem with our current proposal then they should send an email to Grace for registration as "participants" of the CWG and then deliberate with us at an equal footing; or otherwise send their comments in the public comments period.</span><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Dec 15, 2014 at 9:29 AM, Milton L Mueller <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mueller@syr.edu" target="_blank">mueller@syr.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

process, and thus is in no better position to tell us what NTIA wants or what it will accept than you are or I am. The NTIA has told us its requirements in its public announcements.
