<H2 style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; CLEAR: left">Competition, Consumer Trust and
Consumer Choice Review Team Seated</H2>
<P>23 December 2015</P>
<P>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.</P>
<P>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.</P>
<P>In accordance with ICANN's <A
href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/affirmation-of-commitments-2009-09-30-en"
target=_blank>Affirmation of Commitments</A>, 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 <A
href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/call-volunteers-cct-rt-2015-10-01-en"
target=_blank>call for volunteers</A> 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.</P>
<P>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 <A href="https://www.icann.org/profiles/james-hedlund"
target=_blank>Jamie Hedlund</A>, and Schneider by <A
href="https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/applications-16nov15/kapin-cv-16nov15-en.pdf"
target=_blank>Laureen Kapin</A> [PDF, 89 KB], of the GAC Public Safety Working
Group and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.</P>
<P>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 <A
href="https://www.icann.org/" target=_blank>icann.org</A> and at ICANN public
meetings.</P><A name=151d18c9857d60fe_members-ac-so></A>

<H3>Background</H3>
<P>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 <A
href="http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/reviews/cct/iag-metrics-final-recs-26sep14-en.pdf"
target=_blank>66 metrics</A> [PDF, 472 KB], which the ICANN Board adopted, for
the review team to consider. ICANN has been collecting data on many of these
<A href="https://www.icann.org/resources/reviews/cct/metrics"
target=_blank>metrics</A>. In addition, ICANN commissioned a global survey and
economic study to gather data on certain metrics. Baseline reports on <A
href="https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-05-29-en"
target=_blank>consumer</A> and <A
href="https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-09-25-en"
target=_blank>registrant</A> awareness of new gTLDs have been published along
with an <A href="https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2015-09-28-en"
target=_blank>economic assessment</A> of competition in the domain name
marketplace. These and other supporting materials will be made available to
the review team to inform its work.</P>
<P>More information on the CCT review is available <A
href="http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/reviews/cct" target=_blank>here</A>.</P>
<H3>About ICANN</H3>
<P><EM>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 facilitates the
use of other unique Internet identifiers. For more information please visit:
