<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Avenir-Book, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">How would you determine when a “requesting party” becomes aware of an action? I expect it would be hard to determine when that event would happen – so this
feels a little like that a party can file at any time after a decision – potentially years later. This could have quite negative effect on a third party. E.g if a new gTLD was allocated to an applicant, and then the requesting party complains years later.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Avenir-Book, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Shouldn’t there be some limit based on what is reasonable – e.g 30 days after the requesting party would reasonably become aware … etc<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Avenir-Book, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Alternatively – maybe leave the current language and increase the time period – e.g. from 30 to 60 or 90 days.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
