Again, while not dispositive of the Program�s effects on competition, this will be an important element for consideration by the Review Team, and the group believes that data may be difficult to obtain
retroactively. The economic study would take into account the wholesale and retail prices <span style="color:red;">(including aftermarket prices)</span> for domain names now and at a later point, and include an analysis of the findings in light of the competitive conditions of the domain name sector. Accordingly, the group recommends that the Board authorize funding up to [$_________] to generate and conduct an economic study in the short term, and direct staff to secure qualified providers for design and execution of this study.</span><span lang="X-NONE" style="font-size:12.0pt;"></span></div><div class="ecxyiv8091716217MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span></div><div class="ecxyiv8091716217MsoNormal"><span style="">Ray</span><span style="font-size:14.0pt;"></span></div><div class="ecxyiv8091716217MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span></div><div class="ecxyiv8091716217yqt9336222171" id="ecxyiv8091716217yqt90759"><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in;"><div class="ecxyiv8091716217MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;"> iag-cct-bounces@icann.org [mailto:iag-cct-bounces@icann.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Karen Lentz<br clear="none"><b>Sent:</b> Monday, March 3, 2014 1:12 AM<br clear="none"><b>To:</b> iag-cct@icann.org<br clear="none"><b>Subject:</b> [iag-cct] Draft letter on interim recommendations</span></div></div></div><div class="ecxyiv8091716217MsoNormal"> </div><div class="ecxyiv8091716217MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">Dear IAG-CCT members,</span></div><div class="ecxyiv8091716217MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span></div><div class="ecxyiv8091716217MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">Please see attached a draft letter to the Board containing the interim recommendations proposed by the group for the Board�s meeting in Singapore.

As we have continued to examine how to best collect and analyze this type of data, we are also working to provide some additional context around the intended use. Framing the request as part of an economic study may help increase participation (i.e., the registry agreement has a provision indicating that the registry will cooperate and provide data for economic studies), as well as helping to address the legal concerns around compilations of pricing data. Establishing the broader context for the exercise should also help make the case for this investment.
