NEW: CSC Findings on PTI Performance for April 2019
From:
Byron Holland, Customer Standing Committee (CSC) Chair
FOR:
All Community Leaders
I am pleased to inform you that the CSC has concluded that Public Technical Identifier (PTI)’s overall performance over April 2019 was “Excellent” - PTI met the service
level agreement at 100% for the month of April 2019. The related PTI report to the CSC, listing the individual service level metrics along with their actual and historical performance, can be found
here
[r20.rs6.net].
I’m also very pleased to inform you that the CSC and PTI made considerable progress in updating the Service Level Agreements (SLAs) identified in our
Findings
Report [r20.rs6.net]. The CSC was informed that ICANN and PTI have completed the amendment of the IANA Naming Function Contract to allow for a differentiated approach
to changes of the SLAs. The CSC has agreed with the PTI plan how to update two (2) Service Levels listed in the CSC Findings Report:
1.
Update to “Technical Checks – Retest” to better align with operational realities. The change refers to the timing for tests (current SLA 1-5 minutes, the
actual performance is between 5-8 minutes and the proposal is to change it to 10 minutes). It is understood that this change does NOT have an impact on the services to the direct customers, and therefore and in accordance with agreed procedures no public comment
period is required.
2.
The second change is the introduction of a new SLA for processing Label Generation Rules (LGRs) with respect to Internationalized Domain Name tables and
publishing these tables. This is a new SLA to be introduced at the suggestion of the CSC. PTI will shortly start a public comment forum to seek feed-back and input on the proposed SLA.
More detailed information around both SLAs can be found at:
·
Technical
Check Change (PDF) [r20.rs6.net]
·
New
SLAs for Publication of LGRs [r20.rs6.net]
In addition, the CSC has adopted and agreed to the proposed implementation of the four (4) recommendations by the CSC Effectiveness Review Team.
·
Documenting and make public the very limited role if the CSC with respect to individual complaints related to the IANA Naming Function Services.
·
On-boarding of new members and liaisons
·
Develop a skill/expertise matrix to assist appointing organizations in their selection process
·
Inform the members and liaisons appointing organizations timely about the attendance record of their appointees.
The CSC response to the recommendations of the CSC Effectiveness Review is fully concluded (eight months after it started).
Generally, the CSC regular meeting is scheduled at or around the 15th every month, and the CSC. Findings report on the PTI performance is sent out shortly after
that meeting. If you would like to be informed of upcoming meetings or receive CSC reports directly, you may want to subscribe to our
announce list [r20.rs6.net]. Any comments on our reporting to you is welcome.
The CSC became effective October 1, 2016. Background information on the committee along with transcripts of our meetings and other useful information can be found
here [r20.rs6.net].

REMINDER:
Meet with the ATRT3 Review Team at ICANN65
Executive:
Theresa Swinehart, Senior Vice President, Multistakeholder Strategy and Strategic Initiatives
The third Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT3) will meet in Marrakech to advance its work. As some of the team will be in Marrakech we would like
to ask for a 30 to 40-minute slot on your community group's agenda, if possible.
Community input is key to the success of this process. If you are able to accommodate us on your agenda, please send us an email to <atrt3-coordination@icann.org>
to let us know a day and time that would suit. We will send you a preliminary set of questions ahead of the meeting to aid the discussion. We also welcome any questions you wish to raise in advance.
Our goal for Marrakech is to:
- Socialize our terms of reference and scope;
- Conduct investigation of identified objectives
- Seek input from the community to help us shape our findings and draft recommendations.
The ATRT review is mandated by ICANN Bylaws Section 4.6 (b) to examine ICANN’s execution of its commitment to maintain and improve robust mechanisms for public input,
accountability, and transparency so as to ensure that the outcomes of its decision-making reflect the public interest and are accountable to the Internet community.
Prior to meeting in Marrakech, the review team met on 3-5 April in Los Angeles for its first substantive meeting to develop our terms of reference and work plan,
in response to the Board Resolution (2018.10.25.15) requesting that “ATRT3 adopt its Terms of Reference and Work Plan within 60 days of convening its first meeting, and submit these documents to the Board and to the leadership of the Supporting Organizations
and the Advisory Committees, to confirm that the team's scope and timeline are consistent with the requirements of the ICANN Bylaws and ICANN community expectations.”
We look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks and best regards,
Cheryl Langdon-Orr and Pat Kane, ATRT3 Co-Chairs
