formal public comment period was undertaken which would have provided notice and sufficient time. I am glad to hear of the market researcher that ICANN has hired and I encourage Staff to make her/him aware of this exchange and encourage her/him to reach out
to INTA for help getting useful usage numbers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for your email. I know the survey that you’re referring to appears to have been open for less than two weeks. I do not wish to speak for INTA but as you can imagine attempting to survey a 10,000 member organization for that kind
of data within less than a two week period during the major July holiday season is not practical.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> I encourage you to reconsider the suggestion I am making and reach out to a INTA to see if you can get the information. So many of your models rely on information that is simply missing and INTA, given enough time, might actually help
you refine those models so that you’re not stuck with usage and dollar ranges that are so broad. However if ICANN is not open to that approach I understand. But I do believe however that it is a missed opportunity to get some clarity for your project. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I didn’t want to raise this question in front of Goran, in case the answer was “no.” Did Staff reach out to INTA to survey its membership regarding how many SSAD requests per year each member was likely to submit? I expect that would
give Staff a good baseline to peg the estimates on usage. If you didn’t, I am sure that Lori Schulman from INTA would be happy to guide you on how to make that ask.<o:p></o:p></p>
