<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hello all,<br>
<br>
as you know, I am on the <a href="https://community.icann.org/display/projgtldmarkthealth/gTLD+Marketplace+Health+Index" target="_blank">
Advisory Panel</a> that has worked on putting together this set of statistics. I would be really interested in your feedback ahead of this Sunday. (24 June 2018)<br>
That's the day when I am set to meet the main contractor performing the metric collection and analysis. It is a great opportunity if we think that anything should be done differently - but please bear in mind that we have been working on this for over a year
and some of the "missing" metrics might be due to objections from some parties, mostly based on the impossibility to find a consensus definition of a specific metric.<br>
<br>
Anyway, I am all ears to relay your concerns.<br>
<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>

20 June 2018<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>LOS ANGELES – 20 June 2018 – The Internet Corporation for Names and Numbers (ICANN) today announced that ICANN published an update to the gTLD Marketplace Health Index (Beta), which presents statistics and trends related to generic top-level domains (gTLDs).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/gtld-marketplace-health-index-beta-20jun18-en.pdf" target="_blank">View the Health Index</a> [PDF, 2.86 MB]<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The gTLD Marketplace Health Index (Beta) was first published in July 2016. ICANN plans to publish these statistics twice a year to track progress against its goal of supporting the evolution of the domain name marketplace to be robust, stable and trusted.
A community <a href="https://community.icann.org/display/projgtldmarkthealth/gTLD+Marketplace+Health+Index" target="_blank">
Advisory Panel</a> is working with ICANN to refine the Index in preparation for publishing version 1.0.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3>About ICANN<o:p></o:p></h3>
