<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is just to advise the group of a change to the calendar in terms of the discussion topics.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For the process track, the issues currently up for discussion are N1: Authentication Standards, and N2: Validation Standard for Proof of Use. These are key sets of issues for implementation of the Trademark Clearinghouse.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have had a relatively small number of comments on these so far, and there was a sense on the 27 Jan call that additional time to consider these would be useful. Accordingly, the calendar has been updated to allow for additional discussion
on these continuing through the next process track call (10 Feb 12), and the other remaining topics have shifted forward by one slot.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We encourage continued responses and comments on N1 and N2 on the mailing list.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can always find the call schedule and slated topics on the calendar page at
<a href="https://community.icann.org/display/cctrdmrkclrnghsiag/Calendar">https://community.icann.org/display/cctrdmrkclrnghsiag/Calendar</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks again for your participation in these discussions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
