Danny and all, Well Danny as you know this is and always has been standard procedure for ICANN unfortunately. Have you forwarded these inquiries on to DOC/NTIA or maybe even DOJ a la James Tierney perhaps? I believe James is still the primary contact for this sort of thing at DOJ... -----Original Message-----

I put out my own inquiries to a firm that regularly uses the WDPRS and got the following reply:
"The last follow up I got was January 20th. That follow up was actually 76 days behind, not 45 days (noting that 15 days is the follow up period promised). I've gotten zilch since. I have made attempts to call and email the director of compliance to work out some kind of resolution and gotten silence. They owe me over 50,000 follow-ups. We are still processing 1000 - 2000 complaints per day(unique complaints). We could file 10,000 per day but their system can't handle it (yes, the size of the illict networks we are examining are that big)."
Clearly, there are issues here that haven't been broadly discussed with the community -- WDPRS system response problems, scalability problems and communications problems with ICANN Compliance Staff.
