<p>Deletion of Question 2?<span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p>As raised in the Subteam group last week, I still do not understand why question 2 has been deleted. Question 1 seems to be asking what services are being offered (a quantitative question). Question 2 (former Question 2) seems to be asking whether the public
 is in a position to understand the difference between services offered pursuant to ICANN Contract and pursuant to private offerings (a qualitative and transparency question).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>While I think the placement of the question is probably incorrect - it can certainly be moved later - the underlying issues of transparency, understandability and separation of additional marketplace services -- and the communication means by which they
 are shared with the public -- seems very valid. I note that others, from other SGs, agreed in the call last week.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>May I suggest that former #2 be moved to the end of the current questions to see whether, by the time we reach the end, the issue of what the Public knows about Additional Marketplace RPMs has been addressed. If not, this question, in some form, should remain
 in.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Best regards, Kathy<o:p></o:p></p>
