The only reason we had a draw last time around was that we did not know BEFORE we started the round that we need application queuing. This time we know it. Why not baking random queuing for those that indicate they need it into the process?<br><br>A random number is being assigned to the application (whatever, a 4096 digit long number for example). Once all applications are logged in the only thing we have then to “draw” would be a “sequence start number”, e.g. “1037”: We thereby have additionally randomized the outcome. We use the first e.g. 32 numbers starting at the sequence start number (e.g. 1037) – and the result will be the application priority number. It’s double randomized as a randomized number has been assigned at application submission AND the sequence start position has been randomly drawn after all applications are logged in. No way on earth to game this method. Those who do not demand prioritized processing still get a number assigned, which determines their processing order, too. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>No lottery needed. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Additional idea:<br>Applicants may indicate at application submission that they wish priority processing.

To the extent that you require consideration (i.e., payment) to get a benefit where such is determined by chance you create the risk of an illegal lottery. But if no consideration/payment is required that risk goes away and it is unlikely that the process would be deemed a sweepstakes or promotion requiring registration under any state or country law as it is not open to the public or consumers but rather is a process for determining priority to a closed group of companies that applied for TLDs.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></blockquote><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>The CA website I mentioned has the legal references… but indeed your point indicates yet another reason to not have tickets. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Re the need for draw tickets I think that is a bad and confusing phrase.
