Hi all,

Apologies if this is nitpicky, but I think it's important to understand that there are no automated denials in RDRS. 

Each request is reviewed and updated by a human; although it may be the case that all requests with the confidentiality checkbox were denied, it is not automatic.

Concur I’d find that information useful.  I’m not sure about review period 1, but I’m certain there were instances of the confidentiality checkbox being used since (as automatic denials associated with the box being checked is an item of feedback from LEA requestors).

Hi all,

I understand that a request in the LEA category can have a confidentiality request along with it (the special checkbox). Will there be metric on the use of this checkbox in future reports? I didn't find it in the first one, maybe nobody had used it when that report was generated.

Thanks,

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,
