[gnso-whoissurvey-dt] Survey review - through R7

[Don Blumenthal <dblumenthal@xxxxxxx>]

I have to start preparing for a 10:00 meeting. I'll send what I have now and 
pick it up again later this morning.

As has been said before, excellent job. These are just inevitable last minute 
tweaks.

Question index
Excellent idea but can we change the numbering to match R numbers? The first 
item could go without one.

Profile
Organization Size - Spacing issue in the explanation line
Residence  - Style issue. How about "where do you reside?"
Whois access – Can we align the final line of the explanation with the others? 
Also, and almost bizarre in a way, "pre-Windows" may not mean anything to a lot 
of responders.

R2
Most important elements -  Of those "items"?

R3
Formal extension framework – Align all of explanation if possible. This issue 
recurs so I'll stop flagging it

R5
Do  you support – extraneous period in the first word of the explanation

R6b
History – capitalize "pedigree" in the explanation
Restricted to single owner – lower case "historical"

R7
Display  - change "resultL" to "results"
Variants in responses – lower case "means" in explanation
ASCII – I think it should be US7ASCII

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.

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&lang=en<https://limesurvey.icann.org/index.php?sid=71483&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
