Follow-up on 11 March Standing Committee for System Enhancements
by Lisa Carter March 14, 2024

March 14, 2024

Hi All, As promised, here is the list of enhancements I reviewed on our call today. I’m hoping to get back to you toward the end of the week with details on timing for implementation for the items below. System Enhancements for RDRS Requestors discussed on 11 March: Improved error messaging to address concerns surfaced at the EURALO roundtable (e.g. ccTLDs, non-participating registrars, unsupported TLDs) Language added to system interface to indicate which TLDs are not supported in RDRS (e.g. ccTLDs, mil, .int, .arpa, .gov, .edu) The “Help” link on the RDRS requestor home page will be anchored to the “RDRS Resources” section of the RDRS page of icann.org for better user experience RDRS FAQs for Requestors will be updated to include additional explanations on unsupported TLDs (e.g. .mil, .int, .arpa, .gov, .edu) Thanks Lisa Carter Sr. Program Manager, Strategic Initiatives

Re: [Gnso-rdrs-sc] RDRS - PP issue response.
by Lisa Carter March 14, 2024

Thanks for sharing this Seb, Sarah and John. I’ve noted items 2,3,4, and 5 for internal ICANN discussion as well as adding it to our Standing Committee meeting agenda. Thanks Lisa Carter Sr. Program Manager, Strategic Initiatives ICANN From: Gnso-rdrs-sc <gnso-rdrs-sc-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of "Sebastien(a)registry.godaddy" <Sebastien(a)registry.godaddy> Date: Thursday, March 14, 2024 at 10:56 AM To: "gnso-rdrs-sc(a)icann.org" <gnso-rdrs-sc(a)icann.org> Subject: [Gnso-rdrs-sc] RDRS - PP issue response. Dear Standing Committee and ICANN Colleagues, Sarah Wyld, John McElwaine and I had a call today to review the issue of responses to Privacy and Proxy. It transpired during the ICANN79 week, on and off mic, that a substantial part of the denials received by Requestors were due to PP, but were not captured in a consistent manner across all responding Registrars. The Standing Committee is not going to resolve the issue of PP; there is a bespoke group looking into it and currently working next steps out between Staff and Council. The SC obviously should not influence Registrars’ balancing test and decisions around disclosure. This said, we agreed that efforts are required into ensure that same outcomes should be returned to the Requestors via the system in same statistically trackable answers. We agree and submit to the Committee that: The gamut of existing available answers exists on the current platform, there is no need to add any PP specific answer. If the registrar is aware that the domain uses a P/P service and will not disclose any further data, they should use the checkbox labelled "If all of the data is publicly available, please check this box" . Requestor FAQ/User Guide should be adapted to clearly indicate that “all data is publicly available” typically refers to a registration under PP which the Registrar is unable to disclose and for which disclosure should be requested directly from the PP provider. Registrar FAQ/User Guide should be adapted to clearly indicate that the “If all of the data is publicly available, please check this box” checkbox should be used in the case of data Requests under known PP which a Registrar cannot disclose directly. In-line tips in the Registrar interface should be added (pop-up additional information, or directly in-line) as a reminder to the same. This is redundant information, but we see it as important to ensure existing Registrars who are not likely to regularly consult the FAQs, be aware of this new guideline. Communicate on the same with Requestor and Registrar communities via already established channels. We look to Staff for help and guidance for items 2, 3 and 4. 5 should be relayed to ICANN Account Managers in charge of participating Registrars. This will neither resolve the issue of PP nor change the level of data disclosure, but aims at: Offering a clearer answer to requestors, and limit the diversity of answers given to a same issue, Allowing to more clearly track Requests under PP and avoid having them weighing on disclosure/non-disclosure statistics. We look forward to your comments. Kindly, Sebastien Ducos GoDaddy Registry | Senior Client Services Manager +33612284445 France & Australia sebastien(a)registry.godaddy

Sankey graphic resources (for those who asked, and anyone else interested)
by Gabriel Andrews March 8, 2024

March 8, 2024

Hi folks – Some on the Standing Committee asked me what tool I used to make the Sankey graph I’ve been playing with. If that doesn’t interest you, please feel free to ignore anything further, as that’s all I’m talking about here 😊 The short answer is: https://sankeymatic.com/ . It’s a free tool created by Steve Bogart, with a great web GUI, and additional source code resources on GitHub. It’s one of many such tools out there, and just happens to be the one I’ve found to be most user friendly. The slightly longer answer is: I took the numbers from ICANN’s January metrics report<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/rdrs-usage-metrics-16feb24-en.p…>, making some small inferences (such as taking Metric 10 and converting %s to #s, which necessarily introduces minor inaccuracy), and input them into the text format that sankeymatic prefers. Text file attached. You can “Load from file”, select this text file, and play with the chart yourself, or make similar. It’s fun. [cid:image001.png@01DA6FB5.6F912D80] That said – I’ve made a lot of transcriptions by hand, and that means I might make transcription errors. It’d be great to minimize the risk of such errors, and to that end I’ve asked our helpful ICANN staff if we might be able to get .csv (or similar) files of the data they put into the metrics reports. Much easier to copy/paste from a .csv than from the document format. They advised they’re going to see if its possible, and if it is, will share not just with me but with all of us. (Thank you staff!) Hope that answered the questions I’ve been getting, and further hope that my fellow nerds might find it fun (or useful). =) Thanks/cheers, Gabriel
