All of ICANN's historic and current mailing can be crawled and analyzed with a new tool
by Mark Datysgeld 16 Dec '22

16 Dec '22

Councilors, A tool called BigBang, by the fairly well-known IG researcher Niels ten Oever, has been built to analyze public mailing lists, particularly with a focus on I* and similar organizations. It can be found here: https://datactive.github.io/bigbang/ All 614 ICANN mailing lists that have been aggregated can be found here: https://github.com/datactive/bigbang/blob/main/examples/url_collections/mm.… I don't know what implications this may have. They have pre-built modules (Jupyter notebooks) to analyze trends in words over time, participation by gender, and all sorts of things. For you to evaluate. Best, -- Mark W. Datysgeld [markwd.website <https://markwd.website>] Director at Governance Primer [governanceprimer.com <https://governanceprimer.com>] ICANN GNSO Councilor
