What I am saying is that the NCC is basing the security of those resources and the ‘holdership’ of a resource based on the SSO owner and the documents they receive from him/her. They evaluate these documents by comparing them visually, but they don’t really have any real training in identifying a fake signature, they can suspect it, maybe.

Deregistering resources or refusing services based on suspicion is just an invitation to the NCC being sued and losing more time in a court than evaluating requests.

I don’t have insight into what checks or processes the NCC follows, but in most internal audits and audits this is not just based on signature verification but on cross referencing documents and historical records so not sure to what extent just a signature is really at play.

>> You seem to focus on the easy of the transfer market only but the that is not the NCCs goal, far from it. NCC has other, and in my view much more important objectives they need to fulfil to protect us all. To do this they need to uphold processes that might impact the speed of the transfer market, but I personally think that is a price worth paying for a robust system and community trust. That said, the checks should be streamlined and effective, but not compromise the integrity of the data.

> The Registration Services department is failing to reply within the agreed SLA and some tickets take months to resolve (see Felipe’s presentation showing that there are over 100-150 tickets opened monthly that take more than 8 weeks or/and 10 replies to be resolved, at least 1/3rd of these are improvable so something is wrong with some of the processes or communication, see slide 7 *)

I wasn’t referring to the time of ticket resolution, but to the process. I absolutely agree that the SLAs should be met. I wanted to separate the discussion of what process checks the NCC does and make sure this is as robust as possible and not eroded because of a wish of speedy ticket resolutions or a desire to meet the SLA.

Good that we could clarify that!
