                Harish,<br>
                 <br>
                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/"
                  target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"
                  moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/rssac-caucus/</a>><br>
                 <br>
                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>
                 <br>
                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>
                 <br>
                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>

                Thanks,<br>

                            due to the limited pool of applicants who

                          </div>
                          <div>I remember a very important discussion
                            was started at IETF 100 in order to
                            incorporate human perspectives into
                            standards and protocols such as the RFC
                            discussed here; it may not have any issues,
                            but the implementation may have relied on
                            similar inputs from a very small input
                            domain.<br>
                            <br>
                            Most importantly, because only a small
                            number of experts are participating, the
