Ariel: Based on your email it appears that the questions to Providers have already gone out. Is that correct? There are a few instances where I think the questions could have been more clearly worded, or where it might have been beneficial to ask all providers rather than just select ones. It would have been useful to have been able to review this prior to the transmission of the questions. Philip Philip S.

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_rjHMQVa9Ebj8Ik6vay1vr...>. 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
