[Rt4-whois] NORC Study cost

[Denise Michel]

Dear Team members,

A correction:  the 2009 NORC study involved a sample size of 1400 (rather
than 1000).

Since some Team members seemed interested, Staff did some inquiries. The
annual cost of such a study likely would be moderately less if the previous
methodology and sample design were maintained. It is estimated that most of
the accuracy study recurring cost is calling registrants for verification,
and at least one-third of the original study cost was establishing a
methodology and sample design.

So a very rough, informal estimate of repeating the study for 1000 domains
is about US$110,000.


Please let me know if you need additional information.


Regards,

Denise
