[Rt4-whois] Initial RFP Draft for Consumer Trust research

[Lynn Goodendorf]

Thanks Dr. Sarmad and Kim.  The info I gathered on cost elements and variables indicate that the number of languages carries more incremental cost than the number of countries.  However, in order to get a valid sample per country, some would be more difficult than others.

Hi Lynn: 

Great work.  I made some track changes in the document.  I am not sure if we want to include more detailed Terms and Conditions of the RFP, but I think that is up to ICANN.  I added just two terms and conditions obligations: (1) IP assignment - assuming that we want to retain the IP rights; and (2) provided a more specific time for response.  Normally RFPs should have several more, but since this is an ICANN RFP template, I think it is better for ICANN to determine what other T&Cs are required, if any.  

I have also added some language that ensures age and gender equity including the inclusion of developing countries.  In light of that, I wonder whether 10 countries are sufficient and we may want to increase it to 15 and have at least 5 developing countries included, but I am not sure how much that will affect the budget.
