The program carries benefits for end users and registrants in terms of increasing choice and competition, but it also raises a range of consumer and public interest concerns. These concerns include consumer safety and trust, multilingual access to gTLDs via internationalized scripts, rights issues related to the protection of trademarks, non-registered marks and geographic names, as well as barriers to program participation for stakeholders in the developing world. The At-Large Multistakeholder Policy Roundtable will highlight these issues and explore the adequacy of policies and mechanisms meant to address them. Discussion Questions: 1. What are the consumer and public interest concerns in relation to the new gTLD program? 2. Are the policies and mechanisms that have been developed to address these concerns adequate? 3. What more needs to be done to address these concerns effectively?
