<div class="">Hi All,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">In regards to the open action item:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><b class=""><i class="">Provide the SSR2 RT a timeline of the ITHI project, when they have clarity on next steps and schedules.</i></b></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Please see the following response:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The ITHI timeline at this point remains tentative. Much depends on where the community wants to go and on the availability of some of the registrar data (i.e. whois rate limiting issue).</div>
<div class="">Here is what we expect to do this calendar year:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">1) September/October time frame:</div>
<div class=""> - ITHI workshop with abuse community, tentatively a joint workshop with M3AAWG and/or a workshop at ICANN’s office in DC</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">2) ICANN 60 in Abu Dhabi: IHTI workshop</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>- a) Study of whois inaccuracy complaints covering all registries and all registrars</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>- b) Study of abuse tracking separately spam, phish, malware and botnets for all gTLDs, introduction of a graphical representation model tracking the data.</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>- c) Potentially extending the same study to all registrars if whois data becomes available</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Presentation of candidate metrics and early measurements covering the other areas highlighted in the health definitions:</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>- d) Study and measurement of “useful” vs “extra-omnerous” traffic at the root servers</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>- e) Study and measurement of ICANN DNS registries, and how those parameters are actually used in observed traffic at the DNS root.</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>- f) Study and measurement of leakage (i.e. TLDs that are not registered but tentative resolution is observed at the root)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">3) Future work:</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>- Start tracking (and publishing) the above data to build a time series, in particular for 2a) and 2b)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">
</span></div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>- Work on a solution for 2c)</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>- Refine 2d), 2e), 2f)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The RIRs are working independently on the number track. I’ve reached out to them for a timeline but got no response so far.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">At some point, the ICANN track and the RIR track will have to converge.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Further Information from the NRO</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We now have an RIR staff draft of ITHI metrics and my best estimate is that we will be proceeding as follows -</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">- Q3 2017 Conduct Community Consultation on the ITHI draft and measurement matrix </div>
<div class="">- Q3 2017 Incorporate community input into the paper</div>
<div class="">- Q4 2017 Hand off to the RIR engineering teams for implementation in accordance with guidance from the NRO EC</div>
<div class="">- H1 2018 tentative deployment</div>
