[ioepanel] Fwd: IANA Functions Satisfaction Survey Yields Overwhelmingly Positive Results

Fri Jan 17 08:35:43 UTC 2014

Carlton,

the low response rate is somewhat disappointing. On the other hand we are familiar with equivalent situations on other arenas: when the situation is good or at least satisfactory responses or reactions are low. In that sense we may regard the low response rate as a positive sign on IANA functions.

Alejandro:
So the IANA functions are the kernel of ICANN's technical remit and in their penumbral shadow, the source of much of the political angst that come at us.   Excellence in executing the IANA functions is a most compelling argument for ICANN's continued existence; how well it has exercised its responsibilities to the global community under colour of its technical remit.  Until 2012, a qualified response to such a question was largely anecdotal.  For 2013, 112 respondents from 1491 who used this specialised service and were polled maybe good but I would be concerned with that low response.

The results - actual numbers - highlight one aspect of the general issue of participation with entities that are directly dependent on ICANN as IANA operator; not all that good.  And the ones that seem most remote are those largely international; see the ccTLDs & .int registrants results. You might even link the IESG membership here.

For those of us who support ICANN and multi-stakeholder governance and would wish to make solid data-driven pronouncements, the response rate from certain groupings bear further exploration.

Carlton,

thanks for sharing.

You mention that there is general satisfaction but also warnings. The only one I detect in the text you sent is dissatisfaction by .int registrants. Can you provide more detail so that our recommendations, if they have to take this into account, are well directed?

Yours,

Alejandro Pisanty

It would appear that most everyone's happy with the IANA operations. But if you read the details you might get a different sense of the good news.

The target for the survey was members of specific groupings who used any of the services under consideration in the previous 12 months. The results were anonymised.

The 2012 unsegmented survey conducted by ICANN had an overall 80% satisfaction in a response rate of 20% (1,000 solicitations) compared to high 90's satisfaction in a response rate of 8% for the independently-administered 2013 survey (112 of 1491 solicitations).

The customer group with highest level of dissatisfaction in 2013 was .INT registrants. Satisfaction was still in the high 80's of the ten (10) respondents from the ninety-five (95) solicited.

Only six (6) of the thirty-three (33) Trusted Community Representatives (TCR) responded. There were no responses from RFC authors (161 solicitations) and requestors of delegations/redelegations (17, all ccTLD related).

49% of those who responded didn't know there was a process to handle customer service complaints.  Almost all (would be happy to use it though.

IANA Functions Satisfaction Survey Yields Overwhelmingly Positive Results

15 January 2014

Read the report »<http://www.iana.org/reports/2013/customer-survey-20131210.pdf> [PDF, 1.19 MB]

ICANN is reporting extremely high levels of customer satisfaction according to the results of the 2013 Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Functions Customer Satisfaction Survey.

"We are pleased with the high level of satisfaction reported by our customers," said Elise Gerich. ICANN's Vice President of IANA and Technical Operations. "We continue to explore ways to improve the service of administering the protocol parameter registries, the allocation of Internet numbers, and changes to the root zone."

The survey, conducted by Ebiquity, investigated seven critical areas of the IANA functions, including:

 *   Documentation quality (100% satisfaction)
 *   Process quality (100% satisfaction)
 *   Accuracy (99% satisfaction)
 *   Courtesy (99% satisfaction)
 *   Transparency (95% satisfaction)

Unlike the previous year's survey, the 2013 survey targeted specific customer groups to better understand how each group perceives ICANN's handling of the IANA functions. Of the eight groups surveyed, 5 reported over 90% satisfaction.

"It's good to see that the people who request protocol assignments or routine root management changes and use our registries report such high levels of satisfaction," said Michelle Cotton, Manager of IANA Services. "We will be following up with small groups over the next few months to discuss how to further improve customer satisfaction."

With the results of the 2013 survey finalized, ICANN will investigate ways to increase participation in next year's survey.

"In 2013 we gathered input from each customer group, while maintaining anonymity, improving on the more general survey conducted in 2012," said Leo Vegoda, Operational Excellence Manager, "In 2014 we plan to improve participation in the survey."
