GNSO Will be provided later ============ From: Karklins, Janis [mailto:j.karklins@unesco.org] Sent: Monday, 10 January 2011 17:10 To: ceo@auda.org.au Subject: Call for help Hi Chris, First of all – Happy and prosperous New Year to you and Jill. Lot of health, other things money buy. As you probably have heard UNESCO, ISOC and OECD is doing joint study on the economic aspects of local content creation and local Internet infrastructure to analyse whether the encouragement of local content creation and development of local Internet infrastructure have impact on the price of access to Internet by local users. For this exercise we need some data which could be provided by ccTLD registries. Type of date for the period of past 10 years we are looking at is: · Number of registered domain names at the end of the year · Price of registration of domain name · Price of local traffic · Price of local hosting · Number of ISPs in the country I think that these questions could be asked by using a small questionnaire which could be send out with your encouragement. The results of the study we are planning to present during the next IGF. Do you think that ccNSO could help me out? Thank you for considering JK
