Hi Ching, my apologies for the delay in responding.

Please help advise what are SubPro recommendations on string listing on the Collision String List. More specifically, would the applicant get a refund at this point (i.e. initial assessment) if it chose not to proceed with developing a mitigation plan ?
Refunds will be discussed in the module on fees, which I believe is due to be discussed in an upcoming IRT meeting.
Following up on the "data sources" of the DITL traffic for non-existing TLDs -- if ICANN chose not to disclose the data sources for any reasons, what about letting the public know the geo-diversity (5 regions or country specific), end-point type (fixed / mobile / browser ) , communication type (TCP / UDP) , etc.. This would help us build higher confidence in the NCO data / mechanism.
The NCO will not store or generate this sort of data, but it should be noted that the NCO will not be the sole source of data used for the initial assessment. DITL is an example of the sorts of data sources that will be used. DITL could be used to generate statistics on the geographic dispersal of queries, for example, but I don't think it could be used to generate data on end-point type, since that information is not present in (nor can be inferred from) DITL data.
