Liz,

I also support Avri in increasing our fact gather exercise. In fact I have
written a rather detailed piece on this topic entitled "ICANN's Economic
Reports: Finding the Missing Pieces to the Puzzle" documenting some of the
missing pieces in earlier CRAI draft reports after Paul Twomey interjected
himself into the process, see
http://www.pff.org/issues-pubs/ps/2009/ps5.4icanns-economic-reports.html 

Best regards,

Michael

Hi,

History is always fascinating, so sure ask.  But I don't know what relevance
it will have.

One question: weren't economic analyses requested by the GAC?  And wouldn't
any economic analysis of this market bring up such questions?

I think that if the Chairs believe there is a consensus on the information
being worth the effort, then sure, you should go digging.

a.
