Dear Colleagues, A new draft PPAA specification, the monthly reporting specification, is ready for your review. This specification includes the requirements for provider reports to ICANN. This specification is proposed to implement the recommendation from the Final Report, "providers should be required to maintain statistics on the number of Publication and Disclosure requests received and the number honored, and provide these statistics in aggregate form to ICANN for periodic publication. The data should be aggregated so as not to create a market where nefarious users of the domain name system are able to use the information to find the P/P service that is least likely to make Disclosures." (See Final Report, p. 18). We can discuss this during our call next week if you have any questions or comments. I'll also be sending the updated Applicant Guide to the list later this week, for discussion on Tuesday. Looking ahead, we are working to finalize the RRI Specification that accompanies the attached reporting specification. The RRI Specification will include the technical specifics for submitting these reports via the API. I'll send it to the list as soon as it is available. We are also in the process of reviewing the Labeling Specification, pursuant to IRT feedback, and will have an updated draft for the IRT to review as soon as possible. Best, Amy Amy E.
