I just went through the process. The User Interface does not allow you to hit next and go onto submit info about why you are making the request unless the domain name is properly formed and found to be registered with a participating registrar.

So although the various reasons domain names are not acceptable is important, it does not seem to be a subset of the total number of submitted requests. It appears that if you pause typing for a second or so, it will do a lookup and that is what seems to be reported in Metric 10, which is a much higher total than the number of disclosure requests submitted.

But that raises another question. Metric 5 is the number of disclosure requests.

Metric 6.1 is labeled "Number of times the data request form for non-participating registrars has been used" but in the detailed description says it is the number of time the export PDF function is used.

Metric 6.2 is labeled "Number of times the data request form for participating registrars has been
used".

For June, the numbers were 170, 23 and 87.

For the record, Metric 10 was 1,579 which matches the idea that it is counting lookups every time typing pauses (my guess is bots do not pause).

6.1 + 6.2 do not add up to 5. So I presume that the difference is the number of times the someone finished the form for a non-participating registrar but did NOT export the form. Correct?

If I have that right, it means that of the 170 requests entered, 87 were for participating registrars and 82 for non-participating registrars.

Or am I missing something???
