George,
Thank you for bringing this oversight to my attention, I will attend to it.
There is no reason to snub you, and I am grateful that you brought this
topic up in the first place.  As you note below, SSAC followed up to work on
this area, as I had promised a little over a year ago.

I don't believe there is much value in debating who made what proportion of
contribution; what's critical is that we all participate in the community
and make some meaningful contributions.

-Ram
SSAC Liaison to the Board

Hi folks,

I noticed that ICANN's SSAC finally published a study on the invalid TLD
queries at the top level, following on my post from June 2009 on the GA
list, and on
CircleID:

http://www.circleid.com/posts/20090618_most_popular_invalid_tlds_should_be_r
eserved/


I find it odd, though, that my name and work went unacknowledged in ICANN's
report, even though it was the impetus of the work, they were aware of it,
and it pre-dated their work. I trust that they will correct this oversight
(or snub) at some point. They were quick to add their own names to it,
though, even as their contributions were smaller than my own.

Sincerely,

I wanted to followup on the past discussion from:

http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/ga-200709/msg03025.html

Did the SSAC decide to study invalid TLDs? I didn't find anything posted on
the SSAC website or in the Sydney transcripts (although not every meeting
had transcripts), and it's been some time since Sydney.
