The Compliance Process Volume - The Compliance Process Volume - This is based on the Informal (1-2-3 Notifications) and the Formal (Breach, Suspension (Registrars only), Non-Renewal or Termination) processes. The volume is the number of complaints in each cycle. Please note, complaints closed in a reporting period can exceed complaints received, such as following a surge of complaints received in one month and closed in a later month.
