Subject: percentage of registrar reserved vs. sunrise squatters

Message:

Hi Paul,
Statistics are not everything, but I do have some stats on registrar reserved vs. sunrise squatters from my study of over 11,000 names. I found 2.4% of names were registrar reserved, as compared to 15-25% sunrise squatters (started out around 50% before manual review chopped that in half). I also searched for names that were reserved by registrars not using "registrar reserved" -- and did not find very many at all. Based on these stats, I would guess that the problem (from the perspective of a Land Rush pre-registrant or the general public) of sunrise squatters is an order of magnitude larger than that of registrar reserved names. As I mentioned earlier, I also think that it is clear that sunrise squatting is wrong, but honest folks may have differing opinions on the issue of registrar reserved.
