On 8 September 2018 the CCT Review Team submitted its Final Report and Recommendations to the ICANN Board of Directors. Informed by multiple studies, research, and data gathering initiatives, as well as input from the ICANN community and ICANN Board, the review team produced a final report that examines the extent to which the introduction of new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) has promoted competition, consumer trust, and consumer choice in the domain name system. The review team report also assesses the effectiveness of the safeguards ICANN has implemented to mitigate issues related to the introduction of new gTLDs, and the New gTLD Program's application and evaluation process. The report contains 35 recommendations, covering requests for more and better data collection, policy issues to be addressed by the community, and suggested reforms relating to transparency and data collection within ICANN Contractual Compliance. The recommendations were adopted with full consensus from the Review Team. Per the ICANN Bylaws [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icann.org_resources_pa…>, each final report of a review team shall be published for public comment in advance of the Board's consideration.

The Board will then direct implementation of the recommendations that were approved and provide written rationale for the decision if any recommendations are not approved. ICANN organization will prepare a feasibility assessment on the final recommendations to inform Board consideration. About the CCT Review Launched under the Affirmation of Commitments (AoC), the CCT Review Team was formed to assess the New gTLD Program in three areas: competition, consumer trust, and consumer choice. The review also assesses the effectiveness of safeguards put in place to mitigate issues arising from the introduction of new gTLDs and the Program's application and evaluation process. The review, now a Specific Review under ICANN Bylaws section 4.6 [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icann.org_public-2Dcom…>, examines the degree to which the process of implementing the New gTLD Program was successful in producing desired results and achieving the stated objectives.
