Marc, a lot of consumer protection is of course content related and ICANN has no role to play in content regulation. However, ICANN does have a role in areas related to consumer/user welfare such as: - the avoidance of deceptive domain names, - ability to re-delegate a TLD to a new registry in the event of registry failure, - avoiding unfair and uncompetitive practices on the supply side. That list is quite enough for now I suspect! Philip
