RE: [gnso-whoissurvey-dt] Survey Migrated

["Berry Cobb" <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Team,

 

I made the changes per Susan's suggestions below.
<https://limesurvey.icann.org/index.php?sid=71483&lang=en>
https://limesurvey.icann.org//index.php?sid=71483&lang=en

 

I will start the communications plan tomorrow.  I will send a sample of the
communications so that the team may communicate within their organizations
as well.

 

Please take one last look at the survey.  Tomorrow night, I will reset the
survey.  The community should start to see the availability of the survey
Wednesday morning.

 

If you have any other suggested changes, please send them to the list.  

 

Thank you.  B

Great job!  I like it.  Very clean.  I like the progress bar on the top.  I
also like the Question Index on the side. Is it possible to have the
complete listing always visible?  People would then know where they were in
the process and what they have completed.    

 

TBH, I have not made it through the whole survey yet and not sure I will
have time prior to our call in a few hours.  I did find a couple of things
to be addressed.  There were Question #'s to reference, so I shorthanded
some of them.  I hope you can follow my reference. 

 

In general there are inconsistencies in capitalization of Registries and
Registrars.  There is also inconsistency with Whois vs WHOIS.  I know there
is debate / belief on which is appropriate in specific situations.  But, it
is inconsistent in use throughout the questionnaire.

 

Background section:

Q. How do you access the Whois information?   

-- there is a qualifier description for Website interfaces that moved down
to the following question.  

-- if any Microsoft lawyer were to read this they may take offense to the
non-cap'd Windows reference (windows DOS). 

 

R1. Provision of a publicly accessible....

Q. The WHOIS Requirement Inventory identifies the ..... ... Registry, RIR
and Registrar WHOIS Servers. 

-- should RIR term be qualified (Regional Internet Registry, "RIR") be
identified or believe recipients will know who/what RIR is?

Q. The inventory of requirements suggests..... 

-- the descriptor has a trailing double quote (") after Discovery"

 

R2. Definition standard query...

Q. Assuming you can identify IDN....

-- The qualifier statement has a typo:  Internetdomain needs a space between
the words

 

R3.  Definition standard data...

Q. Typo: Do you support a formal extension framework/mechanismin -->need a
space between the words

Q.  Should the data structure allow...

-- The qualifier statement has a typo: .... characters (ie cyrillic )other
--> closing parenthesis needs to be next to cyrillic with space prior to
'other'  (should cyrillic be cap'd?)

 

R4 Standardized error handling

The leading paragraph includes the qualifier answers used in the questions.
I do not believe that is necessary. 

Q. Do you support the use of standard error messages....

-- missing the qualifier descriptor (in leading paragraph) 

 

R5 Submitting WHOIS queries

Leading paragraph has a typo:  ....to submit otherrelated registration data

Q. This question seems to be missing words.  "Is there a ?? to search
WHOIS..."   "Please choose one of the following" is repeated, can remove one
of them. 

Q. Typo:  Please rate 1-6 below on importance -- needs to be 1-7 according
to options.

 

R6a  Adoption of structured data model

Leading paragraph... not sure I understand that last sentence "Properties
the ability of the Whois .... data structures."  

Q. In order to improve WHOIS capabilities...

--- qualifier needs a ending period. 

Q. Work on such a model should include IETF 

radio button typo:  Question does not matteR (R required)

-- qualifier IETF.org should be a hyperlink (IMO)

 

R7. IDN Requirements

Q. Should WHOIS clients (both port 43...)

-- qualifier has typo:  Ascii is all cap'd elsewhere ASCII

Q.  Should WHOIS responses include....

-- qualifier http://idn.icann.org/IDN_basics should by hyperlink (IMO)

Q. Should WHOIS service return....  IDN domains queried? (missing ending
question mark)

-- qualifier has IDN hyperlink only ??

Q. Should WHOIS services return both .. nameservers names..

-- qualifier http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System hyperlink
missing

 

Please let me know if there are any questions about these reference.  

-Susan

WSWG Team,

 

Thank you to Wilson for migrating the WHOIS Tech Survey over to the ICANN
hosted solution.  The survey can be accessed here:
https://limesurvey.icann.org//index.php?sid=71483
<https://limesurvey.icann.org/index.php?sid=71483&lang=en> &lang=en 

 

We will review the survey at our meeting next Monday.  In the meantime,
please feel free to review and test what we have completed so far.  If you
see any issues, please post your comments to the list.

 

I've confirmed that all approved changes as a result of the public comment
review were loaded into this final version.  I made other typo corrections
and small consistency or cosmetic changes.  A few of these I will confirm
with the WG next week, as well as the skillset language we have talked
about.

 

There is one technical issue that I discovered on the ICANN hosted instance.
The Resume Later function did not appear to work and produced a PHP error.
I will work with Wilson and our IT group to get it resolved.  The other
issue is the center justification for the descriptions of each section.  It
looks to be a template issue.

 

 

Thank you.  B
