Subject: Re: [gnso-consumercci-dt] Definitions

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.
