[CPWG] The MEAC gTLDs markets (why wait until next year?)

[John McCormac]

I've crunched some data on all gTLDs, their websites and where they are 
hosted (all countries). ICANN has put out an RFP for a new Middle East 
and Adjacent Markets report with the draft report to be delivered next 
year. The RFP is full of wonderful aspirations.

So, rather than waiting until next year for what will obviously be a 
fascinating report, here's a breakdown of the gTLDS in ICANN MEAC 
markets countries:

Country	All gTLDs	Local	External	Sites (IP)

United Arab Emirates	40,150	2,028	17,685	8,033
Afghanistan	44,622	1	35,455	94
Bahrain	421	3	31	224
Algeria	9,120	799	7,745	1,459
Egypt	8,766	2,552	4,053	4,604
Iraq	228	26	142	452
Iran, Islamic Republic of	266,301	113,123	47,320	338,675
Jordan	2,629	495	210	1,510
Kuwait	2,157	214	1,300	1,162
Lebanon	2,152	861	634	2,503
Libya	3,070	17	2,605	423
Morocco	37,003	7,845	13,962	9,245
Mauritania	13	0	1	8
Oman	1,045	119	679	535
Pakistan	64,298	1,368	54,319	8,355
Palestine, State of	590	387	86	1,179
Saudi Arabia	7,641	1,472	4,313	4,844
Somalia	234	0	197	276
Syrian Arab Republic	869	424	315	751
Tunisia	3,978	2,191	635	3,225
Turkey	1,432,750	1,023,052	84,765	1,280,958
Yemen	0	0	0	174
	
Totals	1,928,037	1,156,977	276,452	1,668,689

The All gTLD figure is the number of unique gTLD domain names hosted on 
identified registrars and resellers associated with the country.

The Local figure is the number of gTLD domain names with websites hosted 
in the country.

The External figure is the number of gTLD domain names with websites 
hosted outside of the country.

The Sites (IP) figure is the number of gTLD websites identified on IP 
addresses associated with the country.

It is based on identified registrars and resellers associated with 
countries. Most registrars and and resellers tend to be highly 
localised. The spreadsheet looks a lot better so apologies for the 
formatting.

I haven't run a Web Usage study on the websites yet.
