Thanks Bart!
So based on your information below, our Amended Charter is good to go.
I assume we now need to focus on the text to accompany the posting of our report for public comment. Is this something you have already started to think about?

Donna, all,
See inserted comment re your first question
I have two remaining questions on the Charter that I’d appreciate feedback on.
- The SLA Change Procedure
The language that we’ve included in the Charter (based on text suggested by Bart and Elaine) says that procedures will be developed.
The CSC or the IANA Functions Operator can request a review or change to service level/s.
The CSC, in consultation with the IANA Functions Operator, will develop procedures for changing service level/s including the removal of existing service levels or the inclusion of new service levels. These procedures will be commensurate with the type of the service level change being proposed. Informing the registry operators about proposed changes shall always be required; however, the type of service level change will determine whether it is necessary to conduct a community-wide consultation. The procedures may be updated from time to time, and will only become effective after publication of the process on the CSC webpage, and after informing the ccNSO Council and RySG, the direct customers.
I thought the procedures had been developed and we intended to state this in the Charter and reference the procedures in the same way we reference the RAPs.
Can you please confirm your recollection of what we agreed.
BB Comment: this section now mandates the CSC to develop the procedures (which they have done). Once the charter is in place the procedures as developed will become effective in accordance with the above mechanism.
- CSC Consultations
I’m a little confused about this section of the Charter.
The CSC will, as need demands, conduct consultations with the IANA Functions Operator, meet with the direct customers of the naming services, and the ICANN community about the performance of the IANA Functions Operator.
It potentially overlaps with the PTI Customer Survey and it may also overlap with the requirement for providing updates to direct customers under the meeting section. I’ve a mind to delete it but I want the agreement of everyone before I do so. Elaine, based on the comments we received from the CSC early on it does seem that the CSC has interpreted this to be associated with the customer survey in some way but I’d appreciate your feedback on whether this has been an issue fr the CSC.
BB Comment: In December 2017 the RT discussed with CSC the need for these (additional) consultations.
This was noted as follow:
Slide 7. Focused Scope
Byron: bullet on feed-back. PTI has proactively feedback, in charter there are elements CSC needs to do, for example consult community, and this drove interaction with PTI on survey. IANA survey is a customer survey. Beneficial and better document role. CSC input in survey better documented in charter. For CSC the survey provides opportunity to seek additional input and feedback, and is part of the remit of the CSC.
Q: when results come back, does CSC look at result? Feed-back is important data-point to understand relation of customer with PTI.
See also link with Function contract: The IANA Naming Function also requires PTI to consult with the CSC on the survey. Quote from Section 3.e of the IANA Naming Function Contract says: "Customer Service Survey. In accordance with ICANN’s Bylaws, Contractor shall collaborate with the CSC and ICANN to maintain and enhance the annual customer service survey consistent with the performance standards for Root Zone Management. "
The CSC will need ( if circumstances demand) the ability to consult with the direct customers (and others), which may or may not include a customer survey.
