Yes, that's the one. Go get 'em. >>> Danny Younger <[log in to unmask]> 4/16/2007 2:21 PM >>> Milton, I believe that you are refering to the resolution passed at the 18 September 2006 Special Meeting of the Board: Resolved (06.___), the President is directed to commission an independent study by a reputable economic consulting firm or organization to deliver findings on economic questions relating to the domain registration market, such as: -- whether the domain registration market is one market or whether each TLD functions as a separate market, -- whether registrations in different TLDs are substitutable, -- what are the effects on consumer and pricing behavior of the switching costs involved in moving from one TLD to another, -- what is the effect of the market structure and pricing on new TLD entrants, and -- whether there are other markets with similar issues, and if so how are these issues addressed and by who? I have no knowledge of this study having been initiated. I will check into it and get back to the constituency if there is any news to report.
