Kurt: That doesn't make any sense. Again, I did not reference that late July paper from EFF until you incorrectly linked my postings to it (i.e. until today). I brought up the topic of elimination of the sunrise period on April 13, see: http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-rpm-wg/2017-April/001509.html "A Brave New World Without Sunrises or the TMCH" EFF made their formal proposal to eliminate the sunrise on April 19th, after I had already made my views known: http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-rpm-wg/2017-April/001619.html The August 10th thread you mention: http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-rpm-wg/2017-August/002323.html was **2 weeks** after the EFF paper, and had absolutely no relation to it. To suggest it came "on the heels of it" is incorrect. I was referencing only the formal call for elimination of sunrise that they made back in April (i.e. an ongoing proposal that our PDP is tasked to consider). That July paper: https://www.eff.org/wp/which-internet-registries-offer-best-protection-domai... is completely unrelated. They don't discuss the 99% reduction in sunrise utilization. I was the one that first discussed that 99% figure, in order to support their April proposal.

George:
I remember Jeremy describing the paper. I was referring to the email chain you started entitled on the heels of that paper, " 99%+ reduction in sunrise utilization rate per TLD supports EFF call for elimination of sunrise,” that, to me, established a link between your arguments and the paper.

Hi Kurt,

I don't recall ever referencing that particular paper in this working group. I advocated elimination of the Sunrise RPM long before that paper was even published. That paper only came out in late July:
http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-rpm-wg/2017-July/002256.html
and as per the archives, no one ever replied to that thread. I've searched past emails, and can't find myself referencing it all here.
My reasoning for elimination of sunrise isn't based at all on that study, especially since the reasoning predated that study.
Not only has it not been "cited often", it's unclear anyone but Jeremy has even mentioned it.
If you have a link to me (or anyone else for that matter) referencing that paper on this PDP mailing list, I'd appreciate it. Otherwise, I think you should correct your statement.
