<div>Many thanks Mark. Would the validation procedure for part 1 be part 2? My worry is the resources involved in validation of part 1. To take an example from my recent past, I presented a widely used data set on the number of Internet users in a variety
of countries, and had complaints that the number for one of the countries must be wrong – which may have been the case, but how would one validate that, and how much would that cost? As for two, since any cutoff rating would be somewhat arbitrary, is it not
better to simply make the ratings available, and let users decide?</div>

purpose of it is threefold: first, as a public resource to learn about the impact of new infrastructure on the Internet, and the broader economic impact of the Internet; second, in order to help identify gaps in data, and determine how best to fill those gaps;
and third, to promote new analysis and insights by everyone in the Internet community, including ourselves, to further stimulate a better understanding of the Internet and its Economy.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">One outstanding issue is whether, and if so how, to exclude bad research and data from the list. On the one hand is a strong desire to be open and inclusive
of all available data and reports, while on the other hand there is a thought that we should review and exclude suspect or biased work. We do not have the resources to perform such extensive review on each linked item (as of today there are over 200 in the
database), and I believe that it would be difficult to determine the criteria for excluding work in any case. However, in order to be of most use as a public resource, it would be useful to provide information that could help all of us make decisions about
what data and reports to use. As a result, we are considering including a review section, such as used in Amazon, to rate and provide comments from all, including hopefully the authors. For starters, there are two feedback sections, one to send me comments
on specific reports, and the other to provide suggestions for work that has not yet been included. Thoughts on how to move this forward would be most appreciated.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
