<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Community Members,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As chair of the Customer Standing Committee I am pleased to provide you with our monthly report on the performance of Public Technical Identifiers (PTI), for February 2017.&nbsp; You will see the CSC has concluded that, overall, PTI’s performance
 in February 2017 was “Satisfactory”, in that they met the service level agreement. The CSC is aware of some minor issues that were previously identified and we are in an ongoing dialogue with PTI to mediate them for the future. In summary: No persistent problems
 were identified and no further action is needed, nor was the CSC informed about any complaint.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any comments on our reporting to you would be welcomed.</p>
