RE: [registrars] Updated List of RC Members

["Nevett, Jonathon" <jnevett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Rob.  That would be great if everyone with multiple registrars
provided it to Cristin (on a confidential basis).  Currently, we don't
know all of the family relationships -- only the larger ones.  That
makes analyzing domain name market share much easier than determining
the actual number of registrars that we represent.

I'll ask Cristin to send a note to the voting list.

Thanks.

Jon

Not sure why that would be so hard actually.  The total number of
Registrars is known, and their market shares are a matter of public
record.

I know of no large group of registrars that are not represented by the
RC, and I am sure that those of us who own other an interest in other
Registrars would be happy to give the RC the number we do for
statistical purposes confidentially. 

That should allow you to get to the total number the RC represents,
which would get you there.

Rob.

Tim:  It would be nice, but much harder to figure out.  Perhaps ICANN
could help with it.  I'll check.  

Also, thanks to Stephane for his kind words.  We definitely have made
progress, but can do more.   

Thanks.

It would be nice to be able to say *71 members representing XX% of
accredited registrars and 84% of the gTLD market.*

Registrar Constituency Members:
 
I just wanted to let you know some facts about our membership.  We
currently have 71 paid members of the Registrar Constituency.  This is
about a 10% increase in membership over last year's number --
notwithstanding the change in the dues structure.  We have updated the
list on our Wiki website as follows:
 
http://www.icannregistrars.org/List_of_Registrars
 
We did a quick check of the members and their related families of
registrars and roughly estimate that the RC currently represents about
84% of the gTLD domain name registrar market.
 
Thanks.
 
Jon
