Thanks Mary. This seems like a sound approach, but I welcome other viewpoints. Best, Philip Philip S.

We can include this query in the cover note to be sent accompanying the survey, and either request that registries feel free to have their providers give us the feedback, or suggest we send the survey on to their providers with their permission. I’m not sure that in either case we will get many responses, given the additional step involved, but if we receive permission to contact the providers, ICANN staff should be able to assist with sending out the requests (though not without some additional work).

I believe this may somewhat help collect more responses, but would like to reiterate a comment I made in the chat (although it got no traction at the time, but my audio was limited) during the last call. My organization, Afnic, is one of the few who submitted a response to the survey so far. We did it on behalf of one of our clients, the City of Paris. I have significant concerns about reaching out directly to registries, for the following reasons : - The questions are extremely technical, and most of our clients would be completely lost - There is no clear benefit for registries to invest time in answering this survey. The TMCH is often “dealt with” by a partner / provider. I understand the need to collect data from registries, but would suggest either of two options : 1) Consider that the low level of responses is an information in itself, and leave it at that. 2) Reach out to registry service providers rather than registries to collect more meaningful data. Just my two cents as a respondent to the survey.

You can preview and test it here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Preview/?sm=twhcvzt1lfNFkO_2BF7lNnr7iX41Ca6gce_2BEqGy7WKuGCzlJFTYJqbEcIQPe6n2COQ[surveymonkey.com]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.surveymonkey.com_r_Preview_-3Fsm-3Dtwhcvzt1lfNFkO-5F2BF7lNnr7iX41Ca6gce-5F2BEqGy7WKuGCzlJFTYJqbEcIQPe6n2COQ&d=DgMFAw&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=DJ69mAe-idEhpAMF1nu2x6c2w3xl7xb5cjS_7sB4h6Y&m=QT0Uk_mO6w4iPS3jycsCHssYAEvCjpNrAXi-t9jVsMs&s=Tb4D1mPy40jR24WQ0MgaleL6V6Kn1MW3_iTP-vvGi7c&e=>. Please note that while we have retained almost all of the text of the original questions, in a few places we have rearranged their order or converted a question into a statement inviting comment. However, we do not believe we have changed any of the scope or intent of the questions, and we have not otherwise edited, deleted or added any questions. Also as agreed on the call, staff will work with the co-chairs to transmit this survey to specific registry operators (especially those offering blocking mechanism services who have not yet responded to the original solicitation for feedback) and via the registry members of this Working Group.
