Information Sharing NEW: CSC Findings on PTI Performance for January 2020 From: Lars-Johan Liman, CSC Chair INFORMATION SHARING As chair of the Customer Standing Committee (CSC), I am pleased to provide you our latest monthly findings on the performance of Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) over January 2020. The CSC has concluded that PTI’s overall performance over January 2020 was “Satisfactory” - PTI met the service level agreement at 98.5% for the month of January 2020. The missed Service Level was satisfactorily explained and is subject to a CSC recommendation to introduce new measurements to create a more meaningful performance measurement for this process. The related PTI report to the CSC, listing the individual service level metrics along with their actual and historical performance, can be found <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001hYTTwrzcG_D-EjGJKJGHUeGCO790ZD0RMuGGYuak8pzi…> he <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001hYTTwrzcG_D-EjGJKJGHUeGCO790ZD0RMuGGYuak8pzi…> re. I am also very pleased to provide you an update on the one outstanding SLA amendment: the ccTLD Creation/Transfer – Validation and Reviews. In accordance with the SLA amendment process, the CSC has formally asked the ccNSO and GNSO Councils to agree to the amendment of the SLA. After both Councils support the change, implementation work will start. The SLA amendments are explained in more detail in the CSC Findings report. I am also pleased to inform you that the CSC and PTI have initiated a discussion on the possible scope of the role the CSC in the context of the IANA Naming Function Contract. This discussion will continue. As you may be aware, the CSC was supposed to conduct an in person meeting during ICANN67 in Cancun and had scheduled meetings with the ICANN Board Technical Committee and IANA Function Review Team and would provide updates to the ccTLD managers present and Registry Stakeholder Group. However, with the change of ICANN67 to a virtual meeting, the CSC has cancelled its meeting during ICANN67. The next meeting will be at or around the regular meeting time. BACKGROUND Generally, the CSC regular meeting is scheduled on or around the 15th every month, and the CSC findings report on the PTI performance is sent out shortly after that meeting.
