Since the initiation of the DIDP process, 166 DIDP requests have been filed (as of December 2021). Of those, 78 requests were declined, 45 were responded to with links to publicly available information, and 41 resulted in the disclosure of some amount of new information (documentary or otherwise). These statistics are based on the review of all requests by ICANNWiki editors.

* Characterization of a request as "Declined" occurs in situations where, whether or not links to publicly available information was provided, the response included rationales for rejection of all or part of a request for additional documents.  

* ''Declined: the response included rationales for rejection of all or part of a request for additional documents'' <br/>The characterization of a request as "Declined" occurs in situations where, whether or not links to publicly available information are provided, the response includes rationales for the rejection of all or part of a request for additional documents.  

* "Provided Public Information," by contrast, involves situations where the vast majority of the information sought was available in public documents. While ICANN may have cited a threshold rationale (i.e., no obligation to compile or create responsive documents), there was essentially no more information beyond the publicly available resources, and so nothing further to produce. While all "Provided Public Information" responses are, strictly speaking, denied requests for additional or non-public documentary information, the responses still sufficiently answer the questions posed by the requester.  

* ''Provided Public Information: strictly speaking, the response denies the request for additional documentary information; however, it still sufficiently answers the questions posed by the requester by pointing to publically available documents'' <br/>The characterization of "Provided Public Information" involves situations where the vast majority of the information sought is already available in public documents. ICANN may cite a threshold rationale (i.e., no obligation to compile or create responsive documents), but there is essentially no more information beyond the publicly available resources; thus, there is nothing further to produce.  

* "Information Disclosed" responses either disclosed actual documents or provided new information to the requester.
