The info I gathered on cost elements and variables indicate that the number of languages carries more incremental cost than the number of countries. However, in order to get a valid sample per country, some would be more difficult than others. <br>Lynn<br><br><font color="#333333"><i><span style="font-size: 14px"><font face="sans-serif">Sent from my MOTOROLA BRAVO™ on AT&T</font></span></i></font></div><br><br>-----Original message-----<br><blockquote style="; border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px"><b>From: </b>"Kim G. von Arx" <kim@vonarx.ca><b><br>To: </b>lynn@goodsecurityconsulting.com, lynn@goodsecurityconsulting.com<b><br>Cc: </b>rt4-whois@icann.org<b><br>Sent: </b>Wed, Jun 22, 2011 01:35:24 GMT+00:00<b><br>Subject: </b>Re: [Rt4-whois] Initial RFP Draft for Consumer Trust research<br><br></div>Hi Lynn: <br><br>Great work. I made some track changes in the document. I am not sure if we want to include more detailed Terms and Conditions of the RFP, but I think that is up to ICANN. I added just two terms and conditions obligations: (1) IP assignment - assuming that we want to retain the IP rights; and (2) provided a more specific time for response. Normally RFPs should have several more, but since this is an ICANN RFP template, I think it is better for ICANN to determine what other T&Cs are required, if any. <br><br>I have also added some language that ensures age and gender equity including the inclusion of developing countries. In light of that, I wonder whether 10 countries are sufficient and we may want to increase it to 15 and have at least 5 developing countries included, but I am not sure how much that will affect the budget. <br><br>Kim <br><br><br>On 21 Jun 2011, at 18:42, <lynn@goodsecurityconsulting.com> <lynn@goodsecurityconsulting.com> wrote:<br><br>> Dear All,<br>> Attached is an initial draft of an RFP for the Consumer Trust research work.<br>> I have used a previous ICANN RFP authored by Liz Gasster as an example.<br>> <br>> As you will see, the timeline to get this done by our meeting in September is going to<br>> be a crunch.
