The report examines the extent to which the introduction of new generic
top-level domains (gTLDs) has promoted competition, consumer trust and
consumer choice in the domain name system. It also assesses the
effectiveness of the safeguards ICANN has implemented to mitigate issues
related to the introduction of new gTLDs. The report is available for
public comment through 27 April 2017. Feedback will be incorporated into a
Final Report.

The review team findings include the following:

   - New gTLDs currently account for about 9 percent of registrations in
   all gTLDs, which suggests that registrants are making use of a broader
   range of gTLDs.
   - More than half of new registrations of gTLDs have been in new gTLD
   strings. If ccTLDs are included, registrations are divided roughly into
   thirds among new gTLDs, legacy gTLDs and ccTLDs.
   - ICANN contractual compliance has reported that 96 percent of
   registries are performing the analysis that is required to determine if
   they are being used to perpetrate security threats.
   - At present, there is no mechanism in place to ensure that voluntary
   public interest commitments do not negatively impact the public interest
   prior to going into effect. Therefore, it is important for voluntary PICs
   to be made available to the community during the public comment period of
   the application process.
   - Outreach programs that were put in place to facilitate and encourage
   applications from the Global South were thought to be both poorly monitored
   and largely ineffective.

Background

The Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice Review Team was
convened in 2015 under the Affirmation of Commitments. Under ICANN's new
Bylaws, the review is now referred to as a "Specific Review".

Specific Reviews[icann.org]
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resources_reviews_specific-2Dreviews&d=DwMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=UAy6fqdE7uFkRCc7uzN4yui8bwTtqofadZHiQEIO1vw&m=-miDaa8l5emgAo2ZavLkQZV8X4Ij2mjfeMC0IvKyUM8&s=CeQgSzVBxu0ambD8o-_OxNbGotcO41w5dahuHnFkX5c&e=>
are mandated by ICANN Bylaws and are crucial to the legitimacy and
accountability of ICANN. Specific Reviews serve as ICANN's progress report
to the world. The reviews demonstrate how ICANN delivers on its commitments
and identify areas where ICANN can improve. Specific Reviews are conducted
by members of the stakeholder community who look at past processes, actions
and outcomes in order to make recommendations to improve future performance.
