Hi folks, To support an upcoming proposed URS policy re: language, I did some analysis today of the data that had been generously shared with the working group by Rebecca Tushnet: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1dodxsqkauqp1vr/URS%20Case%20Review%20-%20Final.xl... comparing the response rates (within 14 days) of respondents from the top 2 respondent countries, namely China and the USA. Rebecca's data showed there were 252 cases involving a respondent from China, and they responded (within 14 days) 50 times, for a response rate of 19.8%. For the 159 cases involving a respondent from the United States, they responded (within 14 days) 57 times, for a response rate of 35.8%, which is markedly higher. Furthermore, if one compares the number of "Denied" cases, there were just 11 of them for registrants from China, for a "win rate" of the domain name registrants of just 4.4% (11/252). For respondents/registrants from the United States, 20 of the 159 URS complaints were denied, for a much higher "win rate" of 12.6%. I'm posting these stats to the mailing list, so that others have access to them, and to also reduce the need to have to reproduce the calculations in the URS Proposals submissions (which uses up some of the 250 words!).
