This is one is still evading all attempts for me.
The saga so far:
2022-09-15 - applied for access after expiry 2022-10-20 - filed complaint #1 after being ignored for a month 2022-11-09 - ICANN acks complaint #1 after 3 weeks 2023-02-06 - filed complaint #2 after a few months 2023-03-01 - ICANN closes complaint #2 as a duplicate after 3 weeks 2023-03-09 - sent follow-up to ICANN to complaint #1
The system is still broken.
When you submit a complaint, you get back an email that a ticket has been created with some ticket number, but that email does not mention the TLD the complaint pertains to. So unless you manually record the connection, you won't know which ticket is for what TLD until you get the proper acknowledgement with a copy of the complaint several weeks later (I believe this is when ICANN forwards the complaint to the registry - why only after a couple of weeks?).
Also ICANN, when you close a complaint as a duplicate because of an existing pending ticket for that TLD and account, can you list the ticket ID of that existing ticket in the email message?
The .DESI gTLD had 1,028 users in the August 2022 report on the CZDS site. It wasn't in the September 2022 report and is not in the latest ZFA-Passwords reports. There are still some registries manually updating access and this is causing coverage problems. The complaints system needs to be improved and the lack of communication from ICANN doesn't help. There are also problems with the monthly CSV ICANN registrar reports. Some registries have temporary reporting failures. The .AFRICA hasn't filed a valid registrar transactions report (net adds and renewal data is missing) since the gTLD was launched. I recovered the ICANN registrar report data from a combination of CSVs and PDFs back to July 2001 and have it in a database updating monthly. Identifying registrars without IANA-ID numbers was a very interesting bit of Internet archeology. At times, I was wondering if it might have been easier to decrypt Minoan Linear A.
