<p style="margin:15px 0px 0px 0px">29 March 2017</p>
<p>On Monday, 3 April 2017, join the Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice Review Team (CCT-RT) for one of two webinars on its Draft Report and Recommendations. This webinar provides you with the opportunity to learn about proposed improvements to the New generic Top-Level Domain (New gTLD) program and to share your input and ask clarifying questions about the CCT-RT Draft Report and Recommendations.</p>
<p>The purpose of the CCT-RT is to assess the New gTLD program in three areas: competition, consumer trust and consumer choice. The CCT-RT is also determining the effectiveness of the safeguards put in place to mitigate issues arising from the introduction of New gTLDs and the Program's application and evaluation process.</p>
<p>Join the webinar to receive a tailored briefing from the CCT-RT on its draft findings and recommendations. Attending the webinars will also allow you to provide initial feedback and ask clarifying questions prior to submitting your <a href="https://www.icann.org/public-comments/cct-rt-draft-report-2017-03-07-en" target="_blank">public comment of the CCTRT Draft Report</a>. This public comment period is scheduled to close on 27 April 2017 and gives you the opportunity to provide input to the CCT-RT for its consideration as it continues its work towards developing its final report and recommendations.</p>
<p>On 3 April 2017, the CCT-RT will host two separate sessions at 10:00 - 11:30 UTC (time zone support <a href="https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=CCT+RT+Webinar&iso=20170403T10&p1=1440&ah=1&am=30" target="_blank">here</a>) and 19:00 - 20:30 UTC (time zone support <a href="https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=CCT+RT+Webinar&iso=20170403T19&p1=1440&ah=1&am=30" target="_blank">here</a>).
