<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:#1F497D">Why would we want these numbers [or at least percentages] to be public?&nbsp; I can think of three reasons.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:#1F497D"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:#1F497D">First, and most relevant to the question of incentives, Theo&#8217;s e-mail demonstrates that making the percentages public provides an incentive for accelerating
 implementation. The higher the percentage, the less the risk of the click-bait scenario being directed against your registrar business.&nbsp;
<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:#1F497D">Second, outside the bubble of this IRT, there are people wondering why thick Whois seems to have disappeared into a black hole more than 2.5 years after the
 Board unanimously adopted the consensus policy, and whether the vaunted multi-stakeholder process can really deliver results. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Providing a publicly accessible and understandable metric could help to restore some of the credibility ICANN and its contracted
 parties have lost in this process.&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:#1F497D">Third, good old fashioned accountability and transparency. I thought those were supposed to be the watchwords of the way ICANN operates.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I agree with Roger.<br>
<br>
I am not sure if I agree with Steve. The suggestion bout the progress expressed in percentages is fine, but why would we want these numbers be public?
<br>
<br>
Beside some domain bloggers creating click-bait headlines, like :&quot;will registrar X make the deadline or will they be de-accredited? Transfer your domains now!&quot;. I currently do not see why they should be made public, though I am open input.<br>

<br>
I think it is wise that the comment from Steve Metalitz on the last call is also reflected in 7B. That once the PDP is sent to the Registrars with an effective date becomes an obligation for Registrars to comply with.<br>
<br>
This itself does not solve the issue, but it does raise the question how ICANN Compliance is gonna deal with this and how it could possibly affect the timeline. The dynamics being different compared to .ORG.
<br>
<br>
Let me explain my thinking here. Assume in a worst case scenario that we are passed the end date of the migration (18 months). The end result is 200 Registrars did not migrate the data. Compliance kicks in. They need to deal with 200 Registrars mediation is
 6 months(complete guess). Total migration time 24 months. <br>
<br>
Do we need to factor this in? Does it add anything?<br>
<br>
How compliance will deal with this is outside the scope of the IRT in my opinion. Though Maguy and her team might want to start thinking about this.
<br>
