Dear Tim:

I had a discussion with Verisign yesterday.  I was told unofficially that 
more than successful ADDs are included in the calculation.   For example, 
auto-renewals.  I asked whether a multiple year registration would give us 
extra "points".  For example, a five year registration.  Unfortunately, I 
did not get that information into notes;-(
