<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Dear Providers Sub Team members,
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">With support from the Co-Chair, staff have developed a list of follow up questions to URS Providers and other sources, including ICANN GDD, registries, and registers. Please find the list of follow-up questions
attached. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The follow-up questions were developed based on staff’s observation and understanding of the Sub Team’s review of the Providers’ responses. The row numbers in the chart corresponds to the row numbers in the
<a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I-qe_I4OkQT7IU_rjHMQVa9Ebj8Ik6vay1vr5Yt9ZIg/edit?usp=sharing">
spreadsheet of Providers’ responses</a>. The target for the question is indicated with “x”.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Please note the questions/draft emails to registries and/or registrars, which are highlighted in yellow, will not be sent out now. The reason is that the TMCH Sunrise & Claims surveys will be distributed to
the registries and registrars next week. Additional questions related to the URS Providers issue may distract them from the TMCH surveys and hinder the response rate.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In the interest of time, staff will be sending these questions to URS Providers and ICANN GDD now and request them to respond within two weeks (by Monday, 20 August). We hope their swift response would help
facilitate the WG deliberation on issues identified by the Sub Team. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
