Re: [gnso-vi-feb10] RE: Please participate - straw poll on objective 5

[Ching Chiao <chiao@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd like to agree Jeff's view. I guess for those who have launched new gTLD
in the past few years have attempted to collect market intelligence by
asking registrars, resellers, domainers, IPR lawyers, or use a fraction of
total domain name volume in a country, etc. These stakeholder groups are
within the ICANN fora so as Jeff said, even ICANN might not have such info,
then I don't think it's practically for this WG to collect "in-general"
info.
