<p class="MsoNormal">Hello everyone, and thanks to Kurt and Rebecca for starting this discussion, which staff believes is what the GNSO Council had in mind when requesting that the Working Group consider how to “structure the data request in such a way that
the value and relevance of the data is maximized”. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If it will help, here is the text of the relevant Charter questions for the survey of potential registrants, as developed by the Trademark Claims Sub Team and approved by the full Working Group; we have highlighted what seems to us to be
the most significant part of each question:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><i>Q1(b) Is the Trademark Claims service having any unintended consequences, such as
<span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">deterring good-faith domain name applications</span>?<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><i><o:p> </o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><i>Q3(a) Does the Trademark Claims Notice to domain name applicants meet its intended purpose?<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-1.0in;mso-text-indent-alt:-.25in;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo4">

</span>i.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></i><![endif]><i>If not,
<span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">is it intimidating, hard to understand, or otherwise inadequate</span>?<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:1.25in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo2">
<![if !supportLists]><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With respect to other points raised by Kurt and/or Rebecca:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo2">The Trademark Claims Sub Team’s language for surveying potential registrants was:
<i>“Consumer survey evidence, perhaps via Amazon Turk or online survey group, using existing Claims Notice and perhaps other alternatives to
<span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">test comprehension</span> of the Claims Notice among individuals likely to consider registering a domain name.”</i><o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo2">From the Trademark Claims Sub Team’s discussion, it appears that the idea is to present the Claims Notice to a
<span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">sample of potential registrants in each of the five global regions, in the primary language</span> (other than English) of that sampled region/potential registrant.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Finally, please permit staff to note again that a full global survey of an undefined number (versus a targeted group or sampling) is far beyond the scope of the budget we will have available. For illustrative purposes, we note that the
CCT Review Team’s survey of global Internet users cost over US$200,000 and that Sub Team members like Lori and Michael have also noted the expense involved in these endeavors.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We hope the above-noted information is helpful.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cheers<o:p></o:p></p>

<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">I'm not as pessimistic, especially if we screen for people who've done similar things in the past (not impossible with large internet survey bases like SurveyMonkey). Regardless of what you think about asking"would
you be deterred" straight out, there are other important questions that this group could readily answer--we should be asking questions about what they would think the notice *meant* if they got it. That, even more than "what would you do in response," would
provide data, including but not at all limited to useful data about the likelihood of deterrence. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

ask them to imagine of they would be put off by a claims notice. I see few data points and even fewer reliable ones. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">My conception is a relatively standard "potential consumer" definition: people who haven't recently registered a new gTLD but would consider doing so, perhaps screened for whether they'd ever registered a
domain name as well as whether they'd consider doing so for a new gTLD. This is the kind of group that internet surveys can plausibly reach.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

this statement, would you be scared off?” It seems a little odd to me. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">1) I am against using existing stakeholder groups to take this survey out to their “members” as that will result in non-random samples and results that are otherwise skewed. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">2) The most inexpensive way to conduct the survey is for registrars to reach out to their registrants. Registrars could offer discounts on domain renewals for taking the survey (and state the importance of participating). ICANN can fund
the discounts and administrative costs. (I don’t know if registrars would do this but I am suggesting this.)<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">3) An outside survey firm could do this fairly cheaply. It might become expensive because so few people are registrants - they might have to contact 30 panelists or more to find one registrant.<o:p></o:p></p>
