<div> </div>
<div>Thank you for the opportunity to review this RRA amendment. However, while the RrSG understands that this TLD has changed Registry Operators, in order to conduct our review we must be able to see what has changed between the current .LAT RRA and the proposed new RRA. While the redline against the recently-approved .AUDIO RRA is useful, it is not sufficient for our review. XYZ, if you have any questions or concerns about this request, I'm happy to discuss why the RrSG needs the additional documentation.</div>
