Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice Review Team Seated
23 December 2015
ICANN today announced that 17 individuals have been selected to serve on
the team that will review the New gTLD Program in relation to competition,
consumer trust and consumer choice (CCT). Review team members represent an
array of geographic regions and areas of expertise, and have demonstrated
knowledge of the New gTLD Program or one of the review areas.
Six review team members were endorsed by the Generic Names Supporting
Organization (GNSO) and two were endorsed by the At-Large Advisory
Committee (ALAC). Four members will serve as independent experts and bring
deep knowledge of economics, consumer protection and intellectual property
law, and Internet security to the team. Of the remaining five team members,
two also belong to the Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO),
two from the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC), and one represents
ICANN's CEO.
In accordance with ICANN's Affirmation of Commitments
<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/affirmation-of-commitments-2009-09-30-en>,
CCT review team members were selected by ICANN CEO Fadi Chehadé and GAC
Chair Thomas Schneider. The pair made their selections based on rigorous
analysis of application materials from 72 candidates. Applications were
evaluated against the criteria outlined in the call for volunteers
<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/call-volunteers-cct-rt-2015-10-01-en>
with a particular focus on candidates' expertise in competition, consumer
trust and consumer choice. Endorsements and guidance from the GNSO and ALAC
were also taken into consideration. Chehadé and Schneider chose candidates
representing a cross-section of experience and geographic diversity.
The Affirmation of Commitments also allows the CEO and GAC chair to serve
on the review team or designate representatives. Chehadé will be
represented by ICANN's Jamie Hedlund
<https://www.icann.org/profiles/james-hedlund>, and Schneider by Laureen
Kapin

[PDF, 89 KB], of the GAC Public Safety Working Group and the U.S. Federal
Trade Commission.
The CCT review team is expected to convene for its first meeting in January
2016 and to complete a final draft of its report by December 2016. Periodic
updates on the progress of the review will be made available on icann.org
<https://www.icann.org/> and at ICANN public meetings.

Background
Section 9.3 of the Affirmation of Commitments states: "If and when new
gTLDs (whether in ASCII or other language character sets) have been in
operation for one year, ICANN will organize a review that will examine the
extent to which the introduction or expansion of gTLDs has promoted
competition, consumer trust and consumer choice." An implementation
advisory group recommended a set of 66 metrics
<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/reviews/cct/iag-metrics-final-recs-26sep14-en.pdf>
[PDF, 472 KB], which the ICANN Board adopted, for the review team to
consider. ICANN has been collecting data on many of these metrics
<https://www.icann.org/resources/reviews/cct/metrics>. In addition, ICANN
commissioned a global survey and economic study to gather data on certain
metrics. Baseline reports on consumer
<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-05-29-en> and registrant
<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-09-25-en> awareness of new
gTLDs have been published along with an economic assessment
<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2015-09-28-en> of competition in
the domain name marketplace. These and other supporting materials will be
made available to the review team to inform its work.
More information on the CCT review is available here

About ICANN
*ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure and unified global
Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you have to type an
address into your computer - a name or a number. That address has to be
unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate
and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in
1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation and a community with
participants from all over the world. ICANN and its community help keep the
Internet secure, stable and interoperable. It also promotes competition and
develops policy for the top-level of the Internet's naming system and
