    <p>Councilors,</p>
    <p>A tool called BigBang, by the fairly well-known IG researcher
      Niels ten Oever, has been built to analyze public mailing lists,
      particularly with a focus on I* and similar organizations.</p>
    <p>It can be found here:<br>
    </p>
    <p><a moz-do-not-send="true"
        href="https://datactive.github.io/bigbang/"
        class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://datactive.github.io/bigbang/</a><br>
    </p>
    <p>All 614 ICANN mailing lists that have been aggregated can be
      found here:<br>
    </p>
    <p><a moz-do-not-send="true"

        class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://github.com/datactive/bigbang/blob/main/examples/url_collections/mm.icann.org.txt</a></p>
    <p>I don't know what implications this may have. They have pre-built
      modules (Jupyter notebooks) to analyze trends in words over time,
      participation by gender, and all sorts of things.</p>
    <p>For you to evaluate.</p>
    <p>Best,<br>
    </p>
