== Topic: 45-2015: gTLD Marketplace Health Index Proposal: Call for Comments and Volunteers

Originator: ICANN

Summary of request: ICANN has developed a set of candidate concepts for community discussion to inform its creation of a "gTLD Marketplace Health Index". These concepts focus on (i) robust competition, (ii) consumer trust, and (iii) non-technical stability. The goal of the gTLD Marketplace Health Index is to evaluate the health of the gTLD marketplace using discrete, measurable criteria. ICANN is seeking any input to this concept, but has also developed a set of questions on issues where they specifically are looking for input. At the same time, ICANN is also seeking volunteers for the gTLD Marketplace Health Index advisory panel: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/gtld-marketplace-health-2015-11-17-en
