<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class="">Dear Harish,<br class=""> <br class="">RFC 3797 is publicly verifiable. You can run the algorithm yourself with the information provided in Steve’s earlier email and verify the results yourself. If you are interested in past results the archives of this mailing list are available at: <<a href="https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/rssac-caucus/" class="">https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/rssac-caucus/</a>><br class=""> <br class="">RFC 3797 is string agnostic. Each choice in the lottery is assigned an index and that index is the value the algorithm uses. Thus, these questions you have about how a name’s ordering may impact results are inconsequential. <br class=""> <br class="">The sources of randomness are identified before the lottery determines the winner. But the random numbers generated by these sources cannot be known at the time each potential choice is assigned an index. Because of this, there is no way anyone can pre-determine an outcome by assigning specific indices to specific persons. Because at the time of index assignment no one can know which indices will be chosen.<br class=""> <br class="">I hope this information helps and if you have further questions about how RFC 3797 functions, feel free to reach out. I’m certainly not an expert, but I have read it a few times.<br class=""> <br class="">Thanks,<br class="">Andrew<br class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On 11 Jan 2023, at 15:12, Harish Chowdhary <intern3tgovernance@gmail.com> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="">Dear Steve,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thank you very much for your response.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><b class="">Please provide the following information to help us understand the process and fill any gaps in our knowledge.</b></div><div class=""><ol class=""><li class="">Please tell us what the results of the RSSAC CAUCUS IETF travel support have been since the program's inception, as well as why these rules were created, so we can determine whether this is a new process or a replacement for an old one.</li><li class="">Also, please provide the results for the following combinations so that we can see how the algorithm works when it selects the person with the one name from the following options:</li></ol></div><div class=""></div><div class=""><ul class=""><li class="">FirstName LastName (Harish Chowdhary)</li><li class="">LastName FirstName (Chowdhary Harish)</li><li class="">Only the first name is used.

the randomness we use follows the guidelines laid out in section 3 of RFC3797. Based on these, I concluded that we have followed RFC 3797. I have also checked with other communities that use RFC3797 and did not find evidence that it always selects the alpha
