What is it about: The Consumer Metrics Working Group will brief the GNSO Council about the WG’s deliverable status and the upcoming GNSO interaction with the GAC in Prague.  The WG has reviewed 75% of the public comments and working towards completing the final Advice Letter in July 2012.

Background information: The GNSO Consumer Metrics Working Group is tasked with establishing the definition, measures, and three year targets for those measures, for consumer trust, consumer choice, and competition in the context of the domain name system and as utilized in the Affirmation of Commitments.  The output from the GNSO WG will take the form of an Advice Letter to the ICANN Board for their consideration as well as future review teams as required by the AoC.  Further, the ICANN Board requested the remaining Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees to provide advice on Consumer Metrics as well.  The SOs and ACs may use the GNSO drafted Advice Letter in consideration of their Consumer Metrics advice and may endorse all, part, or none of the GNSO advice as it decides how to respond to the Board resolution.
