ICANN News Alert -- IANA Functions Customer Survey Results Available
by ICANN At-Large Staff Jan. 19, 2018

Jan. 19, 2018

[CANN][icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.icann.org_&d=DwMFaQ…> News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2018-01-18-en[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_news_ann…> ________________________________ IANA Functions Customer Survey Results Available 18 January 2018 LOS ANGELES – 18 January 2018 – The Internet Corporation for Assigned Name and Numbers (ICANN) published the results of an annual survey that measures the perception of satisfaction among Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) functions customers regarding the services they receive. This survey is the first completed since the ICANN organization affiliate Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) started performing IANA functions on behalf of the ICANN org and accounts for transactions completed between September 2016 and August 2017. The IANA Services Customer Survey measured satisfaction in relation to documentation quality, process quality, transparency, timeliness, accuracy, reporting, and courtesy. In the 2017 survey, customers identified accuracy as the most important measure of performance for the fifth consecutive year. Notably, 94 percent of respondents reported being satisfied with the accuracy of their transactions. Timeliness and process quality, were identified as the second and third most important measures by customers, both stayed consistent with the previous year with 89 percent satisfaction. View the IANA Services Customer Satisfaction Survey Report<https://www.iana.org/reports/2018/customer-survey-20180118.pdf> [PDF, 1.33 MB]. While the results of the survey are generally positive, the ICANN org continues to explore opportunities for improvement, including on the survey format and methodology. In response to conversations with key stakeholders within the community, an option to select "not applicable" was added to each question in the survey and open-ended questions were introduced to better capture feedback. There were also improvements to capture the geographical location of the IANA functions customers, and to further segment the top-level domain (TLD) operators. "Over the years we have refined our approach to surveying our customers, and we've received increasing feedback that it can be difficult to recall the details of their PTI interactions up to a year later. This feedback has prompted us to start planning to survey our customers shortly after our interactions, to obtain more timely and actionable feedback," said Kim Davies, Vice President of IANA and President, PTI. The ICANN org commissioned Ebiquity, a leading independent marketing and media consultancy, to administer the survey, analyze the results and compile an independent third-party report, to keep with PTI's goal to improve transparency in its processes. This year, Ebiquity issued 4,070 invitations during the survey period to IANA functions customers — top-level domain operators, regional Internet registries, RFC authors and other protocol parameter registrants, Internet Engineering Steering Group members, DNSSEC KSK trusted community representatives, and .INT domain registrants — and 7 percent responded. About ICANN ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world.

ICANN News Alert -- Implementation of the Consensus Policy for Protection of Certain Specific IGO and INGO Identifiers for All gTLDs
by ICANN At-Large Staff Jan. 17, 2018

[CANN][icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.icann.org_&d=DwMFaQ…> News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2018-01-16-en[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_news_ann…> ________________________________ Implementation of the Consensus Policy for Protection of Certain Specific IGO and INGO Identifiers for All gTLDs 16 January 2018 LOS ANGELES – 16 January 2018 – The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) today announced that all ICANN generic top-level domain (gTLD) contracted parties must implement the new Consensus Policy concerning the protection of certain specific names of intergovernmental organizations (IGO) and international nongovernmental organizations (INGO) identifiers in all gTLDs[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icann.org_resources_pa…>. This Consensus Policy relates only to those identifiers specifically approved by the ICANN Board in April 2014 following the conclusion of a Policy Development Process conducted by the Generic Names Supporting Organization. It does not include IGO and INGO identifiers for which Board approval is still pending or for which GNSO policy work remains ongoing. Contracted parties will have until 1 August 2018 to complete implementation of the new requirements for certain specific names of IGOs, the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and the Red Cross/Red Crescent Movement (RCRC). For INGOs, the implementation period will be 12 months from the release of the INGO Claims Systems Specification which is currently under development by ICANN org. The protections within this policy pertain to specific names of certain IGOs, INGOs, the IOC, and the RCRC, according to the recommendations adopted by the ICANN Board[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icann.org_en_groups_bo…>. The policy requires registry operators to withhold the specified names from registration for IGOs, the IOC, and the RCRC at the second-level and provides an exceptions procedure for registration. For INGOs, the policy requires claims notices at the second-level. Additional information is available at the ICANN Generic Names Supporting Organization working group[gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__gnso.icann.org_en_grou…> and IGO/INGO implementation review team[community.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_di…> wiki pages.
