Thanks—does anyone else have any comments on this structural point?
Although most people were in favour, I have had at least two people
express reservations about dividing the document. However because
these comments were made off-list, there has not been a useful
on-list discussion about the pros and cons.<span class=""><br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<div dir="ltr"> However there is a further need to address the
various instances where intermediary liability/voluntary actions
may come into play. E.g. the blocking of:
<div>
<ul>
<li>criminal content by judicial order;</li>
<li>voluntary blocking of allegedly criminal content;</li>
<li>alleged civil infringements;</li>
</ul>
as well as takedowns in relation to the above, and
blocking/takedowns that is not alleged to be either criminal
or civil infringements.<br>

<div>I regret to say that the document requires a significant
amount of work, and we are not in a position to submit
comments in the short time frame that has been suggested. We
would like to request that the deadline be extended. <br>

You are quite right, however it does seem that all of the areas of
contention have been fully identified during this current comment
period, which ends on Sunday, and with an intensive period of work
by the steering committee I think that we can endeavour to providing
a fresh draft for comment within the following week. It is
increasingly difficult for people to usefully comment on the current
draft, due to the large number of comments and amendments. A fresh
draft that consolidates all the comments, and includes suggested
resolutions to disputed issues, will make this much easier.<br>
<br>
If we are able to provide a new revision for comment within a week,
that will still allow one month for work on the paper before the
Manila Principles meeting.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thank you, Jeremy. We will then wait for the revised document that incorporates all the comments received so far before sending our detailed input.<br><br></div><div>Best,<br>-Raegan<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
