<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Dear Thick IRT,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Thank you for your participation and support today in reviewing the public comment and decisions made to handle them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">As promised, we’ve revised the policy language per our discussion at the meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">For CL&D Policy:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">1.</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The “not to be deployed before date” was removed per the suggestion. For this policy, this is the only change.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">2.</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">No change was made for the suggestion to add a “provision for extension to the effective date” as the IRT agreed<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">For Transition Policy:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">1.</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The clause containing “RDAP” was removed from section 2.10. The resulting language is exactly as Francisco provided in the chat which IRT agreed to.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">2.</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Section 2.4 had two changes per the suggestions and agreements by the IRT<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">a.</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The word “starting” was changed to “by” to offer flexibility for the Registry Operator to provide support earlier.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">b.</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><contact:polstalinfo> was changed to <contact:postalinfo type> to identify the attribute more accurately<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">3.</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Changes to section 2.8 and 2.9 were made to make it more readable. IRT was already in agreement with the intent of the language and this change was only to make it easier to understand.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">4.</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Regarding the suggestion to add “Alternative triggers for waivers,” there was no IRT agreement to make the change and therefore no change was made.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">This is considered the final review by the IRT before the publication and the announcement on 1 February 2017 per our plan.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">One more IRT meeting has been added for next Tuesday as you’ve requested.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">However, it can be cancelled if the IRT provides support for these finalized languages to be in alignment with the Policy Recommendation prior to the meeting date.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We look forward to your prompt review and continued support. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
