Dear Colleagues,
Attached is an updated version of the
reporting specification. To summarize the changes that were
made:
- We updated
the report frequency to quarterly (initial proposal was
monthly)
- We
eliminated the per-TLD report requirement
- We
eliminated a few of the unnecessary fields (e.g.,
publication requests for IP and LEA, some of the “total”
fields at the top)
- We added a
couple of fields for “other” requests (non-LEA or IP)
We have considered the IRT’s feedback on
use of RRI. ICANN org believes that the use of RRI is
preferable for both ICANN org and providers, as opposed to
accepting emailed forms because:
- The only
difference on the provider side is using an API (the report
format will be the same, and ICANN is providing a template
to create the CSV file that will be submitted via the API);
- Using the
API will allow real-time confirmation that the report format
is valid, eliminating the need for manual communications
back and forth between ICANN org and the provider
- ICANN org
will provide training materials for using the API for
providers who are unfamiliar with the process.
If you have any further feedback on this,
please send it to the list.
Best,
Amy
