<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">Hi Team</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that Justine and I have been reviewing documents over the weekend and today. I want to draw to your attention that there has been changes
to documents posted by Ariel previously, most notably recommendation 1.2 under A3; and 2.25 and 2.29 under D1b.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">You may recall that during our discussions last week about application fees, we agreed that an applicant may be subject to additional fees across multiple rounds if the cumulative
number of allocatable variants they apply for exceeds [x]. As I reviewed the recommendation language earlier today on this matter, I found it difficult to justify such a recommendation because an applicant for allocatable variant label in future rounds will
still need to pay the base application fee. If they are only applying for one variant label and that variant label takes them above the threshold of [x] for a previously applied-for and delegated primary gTLD, it seems hard to justify what could be an automatic
additional fee. I’ve made notes in the draft to that effect, but I would welcome input from others.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">Kind regards</span></p>
