Dear Councillors: I would like to draw your attention to a reminder flagged in the Leadership Digest below. Specifically, as part of ICANN org’s research for Recommendation 17.2 of the Expedited Policy Development Process on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data (EPDP) Phase 1 Final Report, the Global Domains Division (GDD) has prepared a short questionnaire to collect input on the risks, feasibility, and costs of differentiating between legal and natural persons in registration data directory services (RDDS). For those interested, please share this questionnaire with your respective groups. The deadline to complete the questionnaire is Friday, 20 March 2020. GDD staff plans to integrate the results of the questionnaire into the report on Recommendation 17.2 for the EPDP Team. Thank you.

REMINDER: ICANN67 FAQ Due to the global outbreak of COVID-19, the ICANN67 Community Forum scheduled for 7-12 March in Cancún, Mexico, will now be a virtual meeting with attendees participating remotely. We recognize the community has many questions about the new meeting schedule, travel arrangements, and other issues. Please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions [r20.rs6.net] webpage. 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 he [r20.rs6.net]re [r20.rs6.net]. 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. If you would like to be informed of upcoming meetings or receive CSC reports directly, you may want to subscribe to our announce lis [r20.rs6.net]t [r20.rs6.net]. Any comments on our reporting to you is welcome. The CSC became effective 1 October 2016.
