SSAC Comments on the GNSO New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Draft Final Report (R1R2)SAC114Phase 2 | Understand Request



Description:

The SSAC recommends that, as part of the ICANN Board initiate a fundamental review to determine whether continuing to increase the number of gTLDs is consistent with ICANN’s strategic objective to “evolve the unique identifier systems in coordination and collaboration with relevant parties to continue to serve the needs of the global Internet user base.” This review should be considered an input towards updating ICANN’s strategic goals in conjunction with implementing the CCT Review Team’s recommendations. Such a fundamental review should include at least the following areas of study based on prior rounds of the New gTLD program:

  • Impacts on root server operations
  • Impacts on SSR issues
  • Impacts on overall DNS operations
  • Analysis of how all metrics for success were met
  • Risk analysis

    process for creating new gTLDs, ICANN develop and adopt a protocol for measuring progress against stated goals of the program and thresholds, which if crossed, may require mitigation actions. Such measurements and actions should consider the entirety of the DNS ecosystem.
