in the intended effect. The review team also assesses the effectiveness of the then current gTLD registry directory service and whether its implementation meets the legitimate needs of law enforcement, promotes consumer trust and safeguards registrant data.
Informed by ICANN organization briefings and available documentation, the review team has formulated twenty-three draft recommendations based on a factual analysis. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

your computer or other device. That address must 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 with
a community of participants from all over the world.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
