Dear all,

ICANN Reviews are one of several important accountability mechanisms that help demonstrate how ICANN delivers on its commitments. There are many ways you can get involved and share your input to Reviews. Learn about the latest participation opportunities below.

SPECIFIC REVIEWS

Specific Reviews assess the performance of the ICANN organization in key areas pertaining to its core function and make recommendations to improve future performance. These reviews are led by community review teams.

• Help Shape the Future of the New gTLD Marketplace

The Competition, Consumer Trust, and Consumer Choice (CCT) Review Team has published new sections of its draft report for public comment. The new sections include findings and recommendations related to Domain Name System (DNS) abuse and parking, and costs of the New gTLD Program to trademark holders.

Join the webinar on Monday, 18 December 2017 at 16:00 UTC to learn about the new sections, and visit the public comment page to share your input.

The public comment period will close on 8 January 2018.
