Ladies and Gentlemen: Recall that the initial review of the Consumer Metrics Advice led to a review of its approach. That second round of discussion has now taken place and as the GNSO Council liaison to the Consumer Metrics Working Group, it is my pleasure to forward for discussion at our next meeting a copy of the final advice letter (attached). As background, this effort is in response to the Affirmation of Commitments requirement for a post-new gTLD launch review of competition, consumer trust and consumer choice. The ICANN Board resolved in December 2010 to request advice from the ALAC, GAC, GNSO and ccNSO on establishing the definition, measures, and three year targets for those measures, for competition, consumer trust and consumer choice. That advice also can be found on the CTCCC Page: http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/cctc/cctc-final-advice-letter-05dec12-en.pdf. Thanks to all who participated, with a special "shout out" to Berry Cobb and Steve Delbianco. Look next for a motion to be considered at our next Council meeting. Cheers, John Berard Founder Credible Context 58 West Portal Avenue, #291 San Francisco, CA 94127 m: 415.845.4388
