[ICANN-CSC] [EXTERNAL] PTI report October 2017 and related draft CSC report/findings

[Jay Daley]

I agree with Kal and I too am happy with the rest of the report.  I suggest the following simpler wording.

Regarding the Technical Check (First) missed service level, PTI has previously informed the CSC that this SLA is missed due to an historic design decision to process these checks in series and while the active performance of the technical test itself does not exceed the SLA, the SLA is exceeded because some requests were queued waiting to be performed.  The next revision of RZMS will have the technical check portion substantially rewritten and will allow greater parallelization of the testing being performed.

In particular the words in the  last sentence after the comma ",which would re-categorize this month’s performance for this metric as ‘met’." is incorrect in my opinion. Parallelising the checks is likely to result in better performance and thus we are hopeful that these checks will meet the SLA in the future, even when there are several checks in the same time period. However the October performance of these tests will not be recategorised as met as a result of the system change.
