Dear TMCH sub-team participants Staff are seeking your authorization and guidance on a number of follow-up actions arising from our call on 29 July 2016 with the Analysis team. We would propose to send the following questions to the TMCH provider (these are based on notes from the last two calls): 1. Can they provide the Deloitte monthly reports as updated? 2. What other types of information (presumably aggregated) can they provide about usage of the TMCH? (Please note: Should the sub-team believe this question should be refined/made more specific I would refer you to the Appendix of TMCH Scoping document– I attach an updated version – which may assist you in suggesting specific language) 3. Are they able to tell us how many private users are using the TMCH, particularly registries, and for what additional purposes? Should it be of assistance the transcript and recording of the call with the Analysis Group are available at: https://community.icann.org/x/eQ2bAw. Staff are also seeking your instructions as to what next steps the sub-team wishes to take following the call with Greg and Stacey last week (for ease of reference please find the notes from the WG meeting attached). We would be grateful if you could please identify which items you would like us to follow-up on and with whom. Finally, we would ask whether you believe you will be in a position to provide a preliminary report to the full WG, say in two weeks’ time (on 10 August) and a subsequent one two weeks after that. Staff would further note that based on the consensus regarding these reporting deadlines within the sub-team, the overall timeline may need to be adjusted for the Work Plan. We look forward to receiving your direction. Kind regards, David David A.
