<br>
I don't think this comment is ready
for submission just yet, but it is
getting there. I am very grateful to
Dorothy for drafting it, and to all
those who have contributed comments.
Alas, I think we need to be more
specific about what we would like
done differently next time the study
is conducted. <br>

<div>I am also not sure that the third
point is correct. It was not that
1,400 domains out of 4.1 million
were analysed; it was that surveys
were sent to 1,400 respondents from
six sectors (some of whom were
registrants). Even if it was
referring to domains, my hunch is
that a sample size of 1,400 domains
probably is representative. <br>
<br>
I also am curious about the comment
Anriette made on-list about budget;
I wonder if it was a case of the
external consultants who drafted the
report underbidding for the project,
or if ICANN paid a suitable amount
for the work but they did not pay
the local contractors a suitable
amount for their contributions, or
something else altogether. I am not
sure we need to bring this into our
comment but it is interesting to me.<span

poor response

style="font-size:11pt">This section provides useful background
information
but it could
benefit from
some more
rigor in
making its
economic
arguments.
These include
the analysis
of demand
(section 6.3)
and the
valuation of
the African
DNS industry
(section 6.5)
. In the first
instance more
specific cases
should be
given to
support the
arguments
given for
changes that
would increase
demand e.g.
improved local
hosting
infrastructure.
In the second
instance
valuing simply
on the prices
that have been
fixed for
service does
not take into
account the
multiplier
effects within
the economy.
Given the
advice to drop
prices and the
lack of
evidence of
the resulting
increase in
uptake in all
country
markets, the
current
approach could
result in
reduced
valuation.
This is just
to point out
that the
approach may
benefit from a
review.</span></span><br>
