[ripe-list] Global Consultation on Identifier Technical Health Indicators (ITHI) Project

This message is sent on behalf of the Number Resource Organization.


The Number Resource Organization (NRO) has developed a proposal for ITHI 
risk identification and definition in response to an ongoing ICANN 
initiative.

Each Regional Internet Registry (RIR) is responsible for ensuring the 
accuracy of its registry data. This is critical to the reliability of 
the RIR Whois databases which provide access to the public data of the 
Registry. For the purposes of measuring the state of the data, accuracy 
has been defined as “comprehensive, correct, and current”. The 
Registration Services coordination (RSCG) and Engineering coordination 
groups (ECG) have developed recommendations for how the RIRs can 
identify and measure risk associated with registry data accuracy.

We are now seeking feedback on the NRO ITHI project proposal, 
specifically on the definition of the risks and measurements to report 
on registry data accuracy.

Proposal for ITHI risk identification and definition:

The deadline for providing feedback is 12 December 2017.

Community feedback and discussion will be conducted on the 
<ithi-consult at nro.net> mailing list.
You can subscribe to the global mailing list at:

Key points for discussion:
- The proposed approach
- The proposed measurement matrix
- Other information such as how often to measure, where to post results, 
what formats to share results
