Thank you for your question. We know that the overall rate of UDRPs
relative to registrations is far below 0.1% (either for new gTLDs or
legacy gTLDs like .com/net/org). So, even if we assume 0.1% as the
benchmark (actual benchmark might be more like 0.01%), we've seen
higher rates than that for gaming of the sunrises (i.e. 1% of the
average 130 sunrise registrations would be 0.13 domains per TLD, and
we've multiple ones like HOTEL, HOTELS, THE, HOSTING, and so on
already identified, without systematic and complete access to the TMCH
to reveal even more of them.

Sincerely,
