ALAC Statement on the Draft Advice Letter on Consumer Trust, Consumer
Choice, and Competition

Date: Wednesday 25 April 2012 06:39 GMT

I agree with the statement, however it only serves to re-enforce the
analysis that this entire exercise to "measure" consumer choice and trust
is so fundamentally flawed as to be useless. In many ways it appears to
define after-the-fact "research" intended to justify ICANN policies
regarding its gTLD expansion. To ensure a positive outcome, it avoid
clarity and any difficult questions that might actually indicate that the
actions of ICANN and its partners are actually reducing trust.
The expansion of "consumer" to mean both end-users and registrants is an
example of this lack of clarity, and invites the sensible criticism
conveyed in the ALAC message.
