Re: [gnso-consumercci-dt] Draft Definitions

[Michael Salazar <michael.salazar@xxxxxxxxx>]

All,

My apologies on not being able to attend later today.

Wanted to provide a couple of thoughts on Consumer Trust –

 *   I liked what Wendy had also proposed and thought somehow adding some of 
that language might provide clarity for a broader audience
 *   I am concerned with the term "all" before "relevant national laws".  There 
may be some difficulty with ensuring compliance with "all" laws.  Can we remove 
"all" from this definition?

Look forward to catching up on the next call.

Regards,

Subject: [gnso-consumercci-dt] Draft Definitions

Team — based on our recent calls, here's my sense of our current consensus 
definitions for the 3 concepts:

Consumer Trust is the degree of confidence among registrants and users that a 
TLD registry operator is fulfilling its proposed purpose and is complying with 
ICANN policies and all relevant national laws.

Consumer Choice is evident in the range of options available to registrants and 
users for domain scripts and languages, and for TLDs that offer choices as to 
the proposed purpose and integrity of their domain nameregistrants.

Competition is evident in the quantity and diversity of TLD registry operators 
and registrars.
