December 2017
LOS ANGELES – 7 December 2017 – On 18 December 2017, the Competition,
Consumer Trust, and Consumer Choice Review Team (CCT) will host a webinar on the
new sections of its Draft Report.
The Draft Report was posted on 7
March 2017[icann.org] [PDF, 4.94 MB], and the new sections made available
for public comment on 27
November 2017[icann.org].
During the webinar, members of the CCT Review Team will provide a briefing on
the new sections, which contain draft findings and recommendations pertaining to
Domain Name System abuse, costs to trademark holders, domain name parking, and
consumer choice. Participants will have the opportunity to provide feedback and
ask questions directly to the Review Team.
The CCT Review Team is examining the extent to which the introduction or
expansion of generic top-level domains (gTLDs) has promoted competition,
consumer trust, and consumer choice. The Review Team is also determining the
effectiveness of the safeguards put in place to mitigate issues arising from the
introduction of new gTLDs and the New gTLD Program's application and evaluation
process.
A recording will be made available on the CCT
Review Team wiki[community.icann.org].
