Re: [gnso-consumercci-dt] Definitions

[Wendy Seltzer <wendy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

While sitting on the panel, I'd suggest some alternate definitions/metrics:

Competition: Let's look at economic measures, including number of 
suppliers, ease of entry, and price close to marginal cost
Choice: The availability of domain name strings and registries differing 
on axes including jurisdiction, scripts, and policies
Trust: The stability and consistency of domain name resolution: the 
concept that unique identifiers work all the time, and deliver 
consistent results when used.
