[council] Correction Issued: IRTP Policy Status Report (PSR)

[Brian Aitchison]

Dear GNSO Council,
Following our presentation of the IRTP PSR to the GNSO on 29 November, we were alerted to a labeling error in Sections 1.5 and 2 of the report posted on 14 November 2018. Aggregated transfer numbers in these sections were erroneously labeled as “yearly” rather than “monthly”. These labels have been corrected.
An updated version of the report and associated slides are attached. The public comment page has also been updated with the corrected version of the report: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/irtp-status-2018-11-14-en
The corrections affected the following figures in Sections 1.5 and 2, copy-pasted and highlighted here:
·         On average, approximately 414,000 domain transfers occurred per month—or 4,968,000 per year—during the observation period (2009 – 2017)
·         Total domain registrations per year during the observation period ranged from 114,927,682 in October 2009 to 196,396,264 in April 2018, with an average of 156,766,483 yearly domain registrations. This means, on average, total domain transfers represented about 3% of total domain registrations per year
We apologize for the error, and appreciate the Council’s and Community’s diligent reading of the report.
Please let me know of any questions.
All best,
Brian
