Hi Gavin,

Thanks John Hollifield for assisting with locating RPM proposal, I struggled to find it yesterday as I wanted to include it in my original email.

One scenario we envisage is with geoTLDs where companies wish to protect their local identity but cannot (or will not) register with the TMCH. The registry will offer the mandatory TMCH sunrise followed by a local sunrise where these companies can claim their stake through formal processes.

Definitely optional, I wouldn't want to inadvertently break other implementations

Thanks - will get started.
