I think a comparison is in order:

General RFI and IPC RFI - questions were subject to prior review and
comment by the group and have been disclosed.  
Registrar poll - questions were not subject to prior review and comment
by the group and have not been disclosed.

General RFI and IPC RFI - number of participants disclosed.  
Registrar poll - number of participants not disclosed.

General RFI and IPC RFI - characteristics of participants disclosed. 
Registrar poll - characteristics of participants not disclosed.

General RFI and IPC RFI - polling mechanism disclosed.  
Registrar poll - polling mechanism not disclosed.

General RFI and IPC RFI - poll results tracked and verifiable. 
Registrar poll - information provided thus far does not indicate poll
results were tracked and do not appear to be verifiable.

General RFI and IPC RFI - participant comments publicly available. 
Registrar poll - participant comments not publicly available.

General RFI and IPC RFI report summaries - Quantitative reporting of
verifiable data.
Registrar poll report summary - conclusory argument and qualitative
policy statements without verifiable data.

I've heard that a U.S. federal court recently entered a preliminary
injunction in a tasting-related cybersquatting case against an
ICANN-accredited registrar.  Hope they weren't included in the registrar
poll, but we'll never know - will we?

1.4

Weighing in on the 4.3 discussion.

I am not neutral as to where in the document this text is placed -- I
view the registrar submission as a result of a polling initiative that
in fairness should be placed alongside other poll results.

To the same degree that survey respondents were given the opportunity to
provide open-ended textual comments, so too should we regard this
submission as a textual comment for inclusion in an appropriate poll
results section of the document.  Issues of veracity (or the lack
thereof) should not figure into our discussions as this standard is not
being applied to the other open-ended textual comments that have been
tendered.

regards,
Danny

P.S.  My apologies for not having the text for 4.4 ready yet... I've
been working non-stop on the RAA Revisions project, but I am expecting
to have some text ready for Olof within the next 24 hours.
