I would disagree with the implication that any implementation or consideration of "consumer trust" beyond new gTLDs is an "extension of the Mission."

That said, I also would not put it into WS2.  I would let the CCT review team do its work first.  After that, we will have much more discussion, experience, information and application relating to "consumer trust" and how it fits into the Mission of ICANN (albeit in the context of the new gTLDs.  That will provide a much more fruitful and pragmatic basis for a future discussion, regardless of one's present presumption about how such a discussion should turn out.

Yes, Fiona makes entirely clear that add "consumer trust" to the general
Mission, without specifically limiting it the new gTLD, cannot be
justified as an implementation of the AoC.

Since we were only considering AoC implementation and not general
extensions of the Mission, this proposal is now dead, not only for now
but also for WS2, I quite agree.
