Don't worry about it.   You must be new to the icann mishmash.  Its a 
dance we all play here with ICANN.  What will happen is that ICANN will 
find a firm that will provide it with the answers it wants.  That sort 
of thing has been going on for years.  The firm that does this study 
will publish the results only after a considerable amount of time has 
passed in the hope everyone will forget the original issue that sparked 
the study in the first place.

Then people and many experts will poke holes in the study.  Everyone 
will agree the whole exercise was bogus.  There will be alot of 
contraversy and then we all move on to the next disaster.

It's alot like a government bureacracy at ICANN.
