<br> Re: Approval ccNSO and GNSO Councils for amendment SLA for the ccTLD Creation and Transfer Process
<br>
<br> Date: 20 February 2020
<br>
<br> Dear Katrina and Keith,
<br>
<br> I am writing you to seek approval of the country code Names Supporting
<br> Organization and Generic Names Supporting Organization Councils for the
<br> IANA Naming Function Service Level Agreement (SLA) for the ccTLD
<br> Creation and Transfer Process.
<br>
<br> As you may recall the Customer Standing Committee and Public Technical
<br> Identifiers (PTI) recently agreed on a procedure to amend SLAs (see:
<br>
<br> https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_system_files_files_iana-2Dnaming-2Dfunction-2Dsla-2Damendment-2Dprocess-2D28mar19-2Den.pdf&d=DwIFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=nC4gfbyyEQpMRtwgTZRqwi_KEPkorJJN6BPIwtsjBWQ&m=sv896aABFcIhl1hsjljcH0bjOXlzlIPaVXQgbkqzvAo&s=IgSPDKjrkDmaVhSZnNqkYO9mPJ_HVycYZXCTG68FClQ&e=
<br>
<br> ).
<br>
<br> Accordingly, - in case of the change of the SLA item and threshold
<br> values, and after a public comment and agreement on the new SLA between
<br> PTI and the Customer Standing Committee (CSC) – the CSC should seek
<br> approval from the ccNSO and GNSO Councils on the amended SLA. After both
<br> Councils have approved the new SLA, it will be implemented according to
<br> the implementation plan.
<br>
<br> Recently, the CSC and PTI have agreed to change the SLA for the ccTLD
<br> Creation and Transfer Process (for details you are referred to the
<br> attached document: Service levels for the ccTLD Creation and Transfer
<br> Process, version 9 January 2020). Background for the request is that the
<br> current SLA measures the processing time from beginning to end without
<br> differentiating between the responsibilities of the ccTLD Manager and
<br> PTI and the time it takes to complete a step.
<br>
<br> Under the proposed SLA, the following will be measured and monitored:
<br>
<br> 1. The time it takes PTI staff to evaluate and to respond to each
<br> submission of the supporting documentation
<br>
<br> 2. The time it takes to author the delegation or transfer report for
<br> review by the ICANN Board of Directors, after all relevant material
<br> has been submitted by the ccTLD manager
<br>
<br> 3. Counting the number of transactions with the customer as indication
<br> of quality of the request.
<br>
<br> For more details you are referred to the attached document.
<br>
<br> The change request was initiated by the CSC and PTI, and, after
<br> completing a set of required steps including a public comment period, is
<br> now ready for approval by the ccNSO and GNSO Councils, which is required
<br> before implementation will start.
<br>
<br> On behalf of the CSC
<br>
<br> Lars-Johan Liman, Chair
