ICANN shall use reasonable commercial efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the information reported until three months after the end of the month to which the report relates.

(A) Monthly Report. File shall be in Portable Document Format (PDF). Report shall contain the following information:

1. Accredited Registrar Status. State the number of registrars in each of the following three categories: (1) operational, (2) ramp-up (registrars that have received a password for access to OT&E), and (3) pre-ramp-up (registrars that have requested access, but have not yet entered the ramp-up period).

2. Service Level Agreement Performance. Compare Service Level Agreement requirements with actual performance measures for the reporting month.

3. TLD Zone File Access Activity. State the total number of zone file access passwords at end of the reporting month.

4. Completed System Software Releases. Describe significant releases during the reporting month, including release name, features, and completion date.

6. Total Number of Transactions by Subcategory by Month. State the total number of transactions during the reporting month, in the following subcategories: adds, deletes, modifies, checks, renews, transfers, restores.

7. Daily Transaction Range. Tabulate the number of total daily transactions. The range of transaction volume should be shown for each month, along with the average daily transaction volume.
