Hello all,

I've watched the meeting recording and reviewed the report, and have a couple questions.

Metric 10 was discussed during the meeting; the understanding I came away with was that although it shows that 80% of lookups were for domains registered with non-participating registrars, the actual distribution of lookup between participating and non-participating was about 50/50. It seemed that a large portion of the lookups for domains with participating registrars do not proceed to the request stage, so only 19% of those lookups turn into requests, leaving us with the impression that most lookups are for non-participating when that is actually not the case. If that understanding is correct (and I think it is, but it sure is convoluted upon re-reading it) can this be made more clear somehow in the report? At this point the Metric 10 is comparing the lookup rate for domains with non-participating registrars against the actual request rate for domains with participating registrars, which is not an 'apples to apples' comparison.

There was also some discussion about request type vs requestor type. Metric 8 is titled "Disclosure Requests by Requestor Type" but the chart itself has a column "Request Category". This may seem like a distinction without difference but I do think we should be consistent; are we categorizing the request itself, or the requestor? I think it's the request, since in RDRS the user selects a "request category". Maybe this metric should simply be renamed to "Disclosure Requests by Category"?

Thanks very much,
