[SLE Team] SLE update - ICANN seeks to delay SLE Accountability reporting......

Paul,

Simply, you have misinterpreted that diagram.

As should be clear in that diagram given the orange blocks _start_ in
January, the implementation of the CRISP SLA is scheduled to _start_ on
January 1 with completion scheduled in September.  In fact, the CWG is not
being treated equally, they are getting development priority because we
are required to do parallel testing of the code in a particular way that
necessitates a 6 month cushion.

I do not believe hyperbole is helpful here.  For the record, due to a
variety of factors, most of which were non-technical, it took 2 years to
develop RZMS. The changes that are being implemented are being done in a
production system in an extremely sensitive environment and we're looking
at around 3-4 months of development/testing.

As stated, we expect to deploy the new code at the beginning of 2Q2016.
This would appear to leave (some portion of) April, May, June, July,
August, and (some portion of) September for the collection of data.
Currently, I'm told IANA is receiving about 100-200 root zone change
requests per month.  This should supply at least 400 to 800 requests. Of
course, it depends on whether some requests are actually made, e.g., the
SLA that requires ICANN to measure "Credential recovery ‹ time to dispatch
confirmation email of forgotten username or password" (another one of
those metrics that will be measured in nanoseconds since it measures
something that does not require human interaction or code branches), so
whether there are enough nanosecond samples depends on how many folks try
to recover their passwords.
