[ALAC] FW: URS follow-up

[Hong Xue]

Thanks, Alan, as commented at At-Large new GTLD WG meeting in Toronto,
we are against the reopening of policy disussion on URS. But now it
seems not only revision to the current policy but complete redrafting
could be enabled under the name "implementation". What do they want to
"draft" in the Drafting Team? Is the team cross-constituency or solely
for GNSO? Normally implementation plan is completed by staff. Why is
it referred back to GNSO?
