<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Re: “develop name collision risk criteria” : All NCAP has accomplished in 5 years is regurgitating an inferior subset of the metrics already used a decade ago by Interisle, JAS, Verisign, and others. Even
the new, complex, and risky data collection mechanisms being strongly advocated by the Chairs have no “criteria” attached to them – they just spit out data.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Re: “and a test” : NCAP’s “test” as memorialized in the latest “workflow” is to collect a wheelbarrow of data and hand it to the board (and maybe the applicant) for their consideration. With no criteria.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I agree with you – we *<b>MUST</b>* develop the “criteria” mentioned in 29.5. Those are thresholds of acceptable risk I have been imploring we discuss. Reference most recently our thread on “The threshold
of harm issue” from April.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I would suggest the 2012 criteria would be a good starting point. People may disagree, and this would be an outstanding and genuinely helpful conversation to have!
