Webinar: Competition, Consumer Trust, and Consumer Choice Review New
Sections of Draft Report

LOS ANGELES – 7 December 2017 – On 18 December 2017, the Competition,
Consumer Trust, and Consumer Choice Review Team (CCT) will host a
webinar on the new sections of its Draft Report.

The Draft Report was posted on 7 March 2017 [PDF, 4.94 MB], and the
new sections made available for public comment on 27 November 2017.

During the webinar, members of the CCT Review Team will provide a
briefing on the new sections, which contain draft findings and
recommendations pertaining to Domain Name System abuse, costs to
trademark holders, domain name parking, and consumer choice.
Participants will have the opportunity to provide feedback and ask
questions directly to the Review Team.

The CCT Review Team is examining the extent to which the introduction
or expansion of generic top-level domains (gTLDs) has promoted
competition, consumer trust, and consumer choice. The Review Team is
also determining the effectiveness of the safeguards put in place to
mitigate issues arising from the introduction of new gTLDs and the New
gTLD Program's application and evaluation process.

A recording will be made available on the CCT Review Team wiki.

About ICANN

ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure and unified global
Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an
address – a name or a number – into 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.
