Requests with invalid domain names
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??? Alan

Hi all, Some of this info has surprised me, so I'm emailing to check that I've understood correctly and see if I was the only one with a different expectation. Metric 5 is described in the Report as "the number of disclosure requests that were submitted to participating registrars" - these requests are submitted in RDRS. Metric 6.2 is "the number of times the data request form for participating registrars has been used" and is calculated by the use of the “export PDF” function - these requests are NOT submitted in RDRS. I expected these to be completely different sets of requests, but I understand from Lisa's email below that all the requests counted in 6.2 are included in 5 as well. Metric 5 should be only the requests submitted to registrars through RDRS. We have no way to know if the requests counted in 6.2 are submitted, so how can they be included in the Metric 5? The effect of including 6.2 in 5 is that the rate of requests made through RDRS seems to be higher than it truly is (nearly *double* based on the numbers Lisa provided), so this should be clarified and corrected.

Hi Lisa, Thanks for this info.
For 6.2, this metric tracks the number of times the form was download for a participating registrar AND the request was submitted to the participating registrar via RDRS.
This "and" is the missing piece - I had previously understood (as I think others had) that 6.2 is form downloads which do NOT include a corresponding submission through RDRS, but that is not correct; instead, the PDF form is downloaded and also it's submitted through RDRS. I appreciate the clarification. *Sarah Wyld, CIPP/E* Policy & Privacy Manager Pronouns: she/they swyld@tucows.com On 2024-08-15 5:59 p.m., Lisa Carter wrote:
