ICANN is calling for community volunteers to participate in the Advisory Panel on gTLD Marketplace Health Index. This Advisory Panel will review the proposed KPIs in the preliminary proposal of gTLD Marketplace Health Index, as well as the suggested potential updates in light of the public comment on this preliminary proposal. The Advisory Panel will also be asked to assist ICANN in finalizing the list of KPIs and in setting proposed benchmarks for measuring  the health of the global gTLD marketplace. As an FYI, the ALAC has responded to the public comment on the gTLD Marketplace Health Index Proposal and submitted a Statement: https://newatlarge.icann.org/advice_statements/9745. 

At-Large members interested in this topic are welcome to join the Advisory Panel. Experience in the global domain name industry, economics, and data analytics will be particularly helpful to the Advisory Panel’s work. Perspectives from diverse regions and backgrounds will help ensure that the gTLD Marketplace Health Index presents a holistic view of the global domain name marketplace. 

If you are interested in volunteering for the Advisory Panel, please email amy.bivins@icann.org by 22 January 2016.
