<h2 style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px;">ICANN Publishes gTLD Marketplace Health Index (Beta) for Community Feedback</h2>
<p style="margin: 15px 0px 0px 0px;">19 July 2016</p>
<p>Today, ICANN published the <a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/gtld-marketplace-health-index-beta-19jul16-en.pdf">
gTLD Marketplace Health Index (Beta)</a> [PDF, 2.37 MB] for community feedback. ICANN invites the community to review this report and submit comments on it no later than 6 September.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.icann.org/public-comments/gtld-marketplace-health-beta-2016-07-19-en">Comment on the Health Index</a>.</p>
<p>The gTLD Marketplace Health Index presents statistics and trends related to generic top-level domains. ICANN intends to publish these statistics biannually to track progress against its goal of supporting the evolution of the domain name marketplace to be
robust, stable, and trusted.</p>
<p>Following the close of the public comment period, ICANN will work with a group of community volunteers to further refine the Index. If you would like to volunteer for this community Advisory Panel, visit
<a href="https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/gtldmarketplace">https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/gtldmarketplace</a> to subscribe to the Advisory Panel email list.</p>
