<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo4"><u>Last paragraph on p.28</u>: Revised the three points after “During its deliberation, the Working Group coalesced around the following ideas” as follows: “(1) mandatory RPMs should only be for trademarks,
not marks or other source identifiers that do not function as trademarks, including Geographical Indications; (2) while such other designations can be entered into an additional/ancillary database maintained by the TMCH Validation Provider, they are not eligible
for Sunrise and Claims; and (3) the ability for the TMCH Validation Provider and Registry Operators to offer additional/voluntary ancillary services to such other designations should be preserved (e.g., via an ancillary database).
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo4"><u>First paragraph on p.29</u>: Revise the first sentence as follows: “The Working Group ultimately agreed that the policy principles contained in the recommendation text reflect those ideas, and
