During the call today I agreed to send an email with my comments on the first RDRS Usage Metrics report. - Please use two columns for the data in the Summary. Use one column for the current reporting period and the other column for the total. This will cut the number of rows in half and make it easier for the reader to see trends. - Several of us tried to get the numbers to add up, but there were some discrepancies. I didn't try to cross check all of the numbers. The following are just the ones I checked. - I expected 10.1 (219) to be the sum of 11 (88) and 12.1 (128), but these only add up to 216. What happened to the other three requests? - 14.1 through 14.7 subdivide the reasons for denial. They add up to 135. I expected this to match 13.2 (Denied) which is only 103. - In the response from the registrar, the reasons for denial and how to repair the defect need to be clearer and more detailed. - The refusal to allow registrants to check the data in their own registration is a mistake. This is the first thing a registrant would do in order to develop confidence the system is working properly. As a separate matter I created an open mailing list for anyone who wants to share their experience with the RDRS. The mailing list is rdrs-requesters-sharing@shinkuro.com. The list is completely open. - Anyone may send a message to the list. If this becomes unwieldy, I'll impose some restrictions. - Anyone is permitted to join this list. Joining the list means you'll see the messages that are sent. The URL is https://groups.google.com/a/shinkuro.com/g/rdrs-requesters-sharing (I believe you have to sign into Google Groups to be able to join.) Alternatively, send me a message and I'll be glad to add you. Feel free to share this message with your colleagues or anyone else. Feel free to send to the list suggestions about how to use the data accumulated on this list. Feel free to send me suggestions you don't wish to share publicly. Thanks, Steve
