If this is the case then it would seem that there is a process in place to bring to the attention of the CSC times when the RO and IANA have been in some dispute and the outcome.</span></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div><div>In the confidential monthly report tendered to NTIA, there is a table where we list all tickets that have lasted longer than 30 days in the reporting period, plus the current status.
