The Review Team formed under the AoC will take into consideration the findings of these studies as it examines other measures of competition, such as survey findings on end users' perceived choice in the DNS, as well as the quantities of New gTLD operators, service providers, registrars, domain name registrations, and other metrics. The review may also provide recommendations to ICANN on additional initiatives that should be undertaken.
