[ALAC] Compliance complaint

Wed Mar 12 09:21:39 UTC 2014

Thank you Alan.

It is also worth noting that according to the latest Compliance
Newsletter, found on
http://www.icann.org/en/resources/compliance/update/update-feb14-en.pdf
, the weekly complaint submission limit
was raised from 100 to 300 complaints.
This increase applies to all approved bulk submitters.

Kind regards,

Olivier
