George K - could you explain what you mean by the following:
"We already know that the percentage of gamed/abused sunrise registrations exceeds the proportion of domains that lead to a UDRP."
How do we know this?
Thank you for your question. We know that the overall rate of UDRPs relative to registrations is far below 0.1% (either for new gTLDs or legacy gTLDs like .com/net/org). So, even if we assume 0.1% as the benchmark (actual benchmark might be more like 0.01%), we've seen higher rates than that for gaming of the sunrises (i.e. 1% of the average 130 sunrise registrations would be 0.13 domains per TLD, and we've multiple ones like HOTEL, HOTELS, THE, HOSTING, and so on already identified, without systematic and complete access to the TMCH to reveal even more of them.
