Oscar, I was thinking the same thing about getting the providers to post the
questionnaire to get a good outreach.

Milton,

	I fully agree with you in both, the relevance of the raw data
analysis (it should be interpreted in a proper way by us, though) and the
impact on a well defined population of input analysis

	The late will be, in my opinion, the roughest task, but agreeing on
it will make easier the next steps. Basically we are talking about the 7
constituencies of the DNSO, plus those "not interested on the ICANN process"
but involved on the UDRP issues. Would it be appropriate to ask WIPO (an the
other three panelists providers) to send this questionaire to al parties
involved in UDRP cases?
