WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS REVIEW?
The Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice Review is mandated by ICANN Bylaws Section 4.6 (d) to examine the extent to which the introduction or expansion of gTLDs has promoted competition, consumer trust and consumer choice. It will also assess the effectiveness of the application and evaluation processes, as well as the safeguards put in place by ICANN to mitigate issues involved in the introduction or expansion of new gTLDs.
