by Ariel Liang Aug. 22, 2018

Aug. 22, 2018

Dear Providers Sub Team, Please find attached a document that consolidates all the action items for the Providers Sub Team, as recorded in the “Super Consolidated URS Topics Table (draft as of 7 August 2018)”. Most of the action items are for the Providers Sub Team to follow up with URS Providers to seek responses to additional questions and/or request additional materials. Both FORUM and MFSD responded by the deadline of Monday, 20 August. Due to internal process, ADNDRC has not yet responded as of 02:00 UTC on Wednesday, 22 August. ICANN GDD also provided response to a few questions. In the document, Staff have summarized the responses received to assist the Sub Team in your review of the additional information/materials. The aim here is to identify issues and propose suggestions for the consideration of the full WG. Please note that Providers sent a number of additional materials for the Sub Team to review. They are hyperlinked in the document and can be downloaded directly. For the full responses from the Providers and additional details, please refer to the "Responses & Notes - URS Provider Questions<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I-qe_I4OkQT7IU_rjHMQVa9Ebj8Ik6vay1v…>" spreadsheet, where you can find the Providers’ full responses to the follow-up questions sent by the Providers Sub Team in the second tab. Here also is a draft agenda for the Sub Team meeting on Thursday, 23 August at 12:00-13:30 UTC: 1. Review Agenda 2. Discussions of the URS Provider and GDD’s responses to follow-up questions, with the aim to identify issues and propose suggestions for the consideration of the full WG 3. AOB Best Regards, Mary, Julie, Ariel & Berry

Providers Sub Team Call Next Week - Timing
by Ariel Liang Aug. 17, 2018

Aug. 17, 2018

Dear Providers Sub Team members, Staff would like to seek your advice on the timing to hold a call next week for the review of URS Providers’ and GDD’s responses to the follow-up questions. URS Providers and GDD are requested to respond by Monday, 20 August (MFSD and GDD have already submitted their responses, updated in tab 2 of the spreadsheet HERE<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I-qe_I4OkQT7IU_rjHMQVa9Ebj8Ik6vay1v…>). Assuming we will receive responses from ADNDRC and FORUM on time, it would be useful for the Sub Team to meet in order to identify issues and propose suggestions for the consideration by the full WG. To facilitate the review, staff would be happy to provide a document that summarizes findings/issues/divergence (in addition to the spreadsheet of full responses). ACTION: Please let us know which time slot you prefer to hold the call (90 minutes – 12:00 UTC is suggested to accommodate members outside North America): * Thursday, 23 August 12:00-13:30 UTC * Friday, 24 August 12:00-13:30 UTC Thank you for your time and consideration! Best Regards, Mary, Julie, Ariel, Berry From: Ariel Liang <ariel.liang(a)icann.org> Date: Monday, August 6, 2018 at 7:09 PM To: "gnso-rpm-providers(a)icann.org" <gnso-rpm-providers(a)icann.org> Subject: Follow-up Questions to Providers & Other Sources Dear Providers Sub Team members, With support from the Co-Chair, staff have developed a list of follow up questions to URS Providers and other sources, including ICANN GDD, registries, and registers. Please find the list of follow-up questions attached. The follow-up questions were developed based on staff’s observation and understanding of the Sub Team’s review of the Providers’ responses. The row numbers in the chart corresponds to the row numbers in the spreadsheet of Providers’ responses<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I-qe_I4OkQT7IU_rjHMQVa9Ebj8Ik6vay1v…>. The target for the question is indicated with “x”. Please note the questions/draft emails to registries and/or registrars, which are highlighted in yellow, will not be sent out now. The reason is that the TMCH Sunrise & Claims surveys will be distributed to the registries and registrars next week. Additional questions related to the URS Providers issue may distract them from the TMCH surveys and hinder the response rate. In the interest of time, staff will be sending these questions to URS Providers and ICANN GDD now and request them to respond within two weeks (by Monday, 20 August). We hope their swift response would help facilitate the WG deliberation on issues identified by the Sub Team. Best Regards, Mary, Julie, Ariel, Berry

Suggested List of Issues for Discussion - URS Providers Survey
by Ariel Liang July 30, 2018

July 30, 2018

Dear Providers Sub Team members, We hope you had a nice weekend. As per staff action item, please find attached the “Suggested List of Issues for Discussion – URS Providers Survey” in word and PDF format. The suggested list is developed based on staff’s observation and understanding of the Providers’ Sub Team review of the Providers Survey results. The list contains issues identified by the Sub Team for further discussion and as requested by the Sub Team, additional issues identified by staff based on the survey results. Findings/recommendations that appear suitable for presentation to the full Working Group are highlighted in green, and staff questions for the Sub Team have been highlighted in yellow (only three questions on page 6, 30, and 34). The issues and recommendations have been categorized using the same subheadings as in the “Consolidated URS Discussion Document<https://community.icann.org/x/zxW8B>” previously agreed by the full Working Group and being reviewed by the Documents Sub Team. Staff anticipates that the “Consolidated URS Discussion Document” will remain the frame of reference for Working Group deliberations following each of the Sub Teams’ reports. For the full responses from the Providers and additional details, please refer to the "Responses & Notes - URS Provider Questions<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I-qe_I4OkQT7IU_rjHMQVa9Ebj8Ik6vay1v…>" spreadsheet. IMPORTANT: If you have any question or comment with regard to the suggested list, please send to the Sub Team mailing list by Wednesday, 30 July by 15:00 UTC. In that way, staff will be able to make revisions/edits to the document based on input received in time for the full WG meeting at 17:00 UTC. Thank you for your time and review! Best Regards, Mary, Julie, Ariel, and Berry

Staff have posted to the wiki space the action items and notes. Please note that these will be high-level notes and are not meant as a substitute for the recording.

Registrar education and their lack of understanding of their role is an issue. * Row 107: The WG may need to re-examine the URS technical requirements and understand whether any change needs to be made. * Row 111: No issue * Row 112: No issue * Row 113: No issue * Row 128: No issue; the small number of appeals may not be a bad thing * Row 129: No issue * Row 136: No issue * Row 137: ADNDRC may have been out of compliance with technical requirements * Row 138: No issue
