Colleagues--

Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice Review Team Seated

23 December 2015

ICANN today announced that 17 individuals have been selected to serve on the 
team that will review the New gTLD Program in relation to competition, consumer 
trust and consumer choice (CCT). Review team members represent an array of 
geographic regions and areas of expertise, and have demonstrated knowledge of 
the New gTLD Program or one of the review areas.

Six review team members were endorsed by the Generic Names Supporting 
Organization (GNSO) and two were endorsed by the At-Large Advisory Committee 
(ALAC). Four members will serve as independent experts and bring deep knowledge 
of economics, consumer protection and intellectual property law, and Internet 
security to the team. Of the remaining five team members, two also belong to 
the Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO), two from the 
Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC), and one represents ICANN's CEO.

In accordance with ICANN's Affirmation of 
Commitments<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/affirmation-of-commitments-2009-09-30-en>,
 CCT review team members were selected by ICANN CEO Fadi Chehadé and GAC Chair 
Thomas Schneider. The pair made their selections based on rigorous analysis of 
application materials from 72 candidates. Applications were evaluated against 
the criteria outlined in the call for 
volunteers<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/call-volunteers-cct-rt-2015-10-01-en>
 with a particular focus on candidates' expertise in competition, consumer 
trust and consumer choice. Endorsements and guidance from the GNSO and ALAC 
were also taken into consideration. Chehadé and Schneider chose candidates 
representing a cross-section of experience and geographic diversity.

The Affirmation of Commitments also allows the CEO and GAC chair to serve on 
the review team or designate representatives. Chehadé will be represented by 
ICANN's Jamie Hedlund<https://www.icann.org/profiles/james-hedlund>, and 
Schneider by Laureen 
Kapin<https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/kapin-cv-16nov15-en.pdf>
 [PDF, 89 KB], of the GAC Public Safety Working Group and the U.S. Federal 
Trade Commission.

The CCT review team is expected to convene for its first meeting in January 
2016 and to complete a final draft of its report by December 2016. Periodic 
updates on the progress of the review will be made available on 
icann.org<https://www.icann.org/> and at ICANN public meetings.

Background

Section 9.3 of the Affirmation of Commitments states: "If and when new gTLDs 
(whether in ASCII or other language character sets) have been in operation for 
one year, ICANN will organize a review that will examine the extent to which 
the introduction or expansion of gTLDs has promoted competition, consumer trust 
and consumer choice." An implementation advisory group recommended a set of 66 
metrics<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/reviews/cct/iag-metrics-final-recs-26sep14-en.pdf>
 [PDF, 472 KB], which the ICANN Board adopted, for the review team to consider. 
ICANN has been collecting data on many of these 
metrics<https://www.icann.org/resources/reviews/cct/metrics>. In addition, 
ICANN commissioned a global survey and economic study to gather data on certain 
metrics. Baseline reports on 
consumer<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-05-29-en> and 
registrant<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-09-25-en> awareness of 
new gTLDs have been published along with an economic 
assessment<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2015-09-28-en> of 
competition in the domain name marketplace. These and other supporting 
materials will be made available to the review team to inform its work.

More information on the CCT review is available 
here<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/reviews/cct>.

About ICANN
