<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">On 5 May, staff were tasked with drawing up a third table taking into consideration the comments submitted and discussed by the Sub Team. The table was also to include the original Charter questions, and match
them against the updated/refined versions in order to have the ability to demonstrate the changes made in a single table, keeping reporting the output of the Sub Team to the full Working Group in mind. Staff were also tasked with adding additional columns;
one explaining the decisions made by the Sub Team resulting in the updates/refinements made, as well as a column in which available data and data required could be placed. The Sub Team also agreed to use color-codes to more clearly indicate which original
Charter questions were batched and refined into which consolidated and refined/updated questions. This has resulted in the

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><br>
Sorry for not making the last couple of calls due to travel, but I've taken a look at the reworded questions now and some of the staff edits have resulted in questions that are quite unrecognizable when compared to the original versions.<br>
<br>
Maybe the new wording was extensively discussed in the calls that I missed (though the notes don't make it seem so), but I find a few of them particularly strange. In particular "Does a registry operator’s pricing scheme (either “regular” sunrise pricing or
use of “premium” pricing tiers) have a chilling effect on a brand owner’s access to Sunrise?" This is a weird co-option of the concept of a "chilling effect" which is a U.S. legal term of art that refers to restraints on free expression.</span><span style="font-family:"PMingLiU",serif"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Also, the "rewording" of "Should Sunrise Periods continue to be mandatory?" into the form "Are the Sunrise Periods as typically implemented having their intended effect?" which is absolutely not just
a rewording, but a subversion of the meaning of the original question.<br>
<br>
My fault for not participating in the last calls, but I think there needs to be a reversion to the original form of these questions, or a least a deeper discussion of the reworded versions. Perhaps the batching, at least in the first instance, could just
involve putting all of the related questions, in their original wording, into a single table cell, but without rewording them.<br>
