[CPWG] [GTLD-WG] Further Revised Draft Statement on .ORG Renewal

[Greg Shatan]

All,

A few responses to the various earlier emails.

@Ricardo, Good point.  I think it makes sense to call for several studies
over time, rather than a single study.

@Olivier, My omission of your contribution was an oversight, not a
conclusion that the view lacked support or was off-topic.  My apologies. I,
for one, would be happy to add something on Registry fees to the draft.
Please provide text or point me to the best iteration of your suggested
text (which I missed, sadly).  Or I can take what is in Justine’s draft.

Personally, I am not in favor of doing an economic study before removing
the price cap.  As Jonathan notes, this work has already been done.  My
thought was to have a study done in “real time,” based on observing the
domain name market(s) after the caps were lifted, so that the effects could
be accurately observed and analyzed, and used to inform future action.
Predictive studies are by their nature speculative, and can more easily be
bent in one direction or the other.. They tend to be more successful and
reliable when the study structure and method is well-understood and
time-tested (e.g., a pre-merger analysis).  A predictive study here may
prove far less reliable and useful, given the number of variables and
inputs and the novelty of the study.  I also think it’s an unrealistic
request.  But as penholder, I will draft whatever the consensus becomes.
