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

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

style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial',sans-serif; COLOR: black">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: <A
