[gnso-consumercci-dt] Draft v5.1 of our Advice, for discussion on Tuesday 14-Feb-2012
Attached is draft v5.1, reflecting edits from Berry Cobb and Evan Leibovitch. Berry updated missing dates, added a sentence on resource requirements, and clarified our limited cross-community participation and path for advice consideration. Evan picked-up on his earlier comments regarding choices available to consumers who may bypass DNS lookup thru means outside of ICANN's control. Below is an excerpt showing Evan's new paragraphs, which I placed under a new heading on page 2: Scope of this advice The Working Group charter adopted a limited scope for this advice, citing the Board resolution seeking advice on definitions and metrics for the gTLD expansion review that is required in the Affirmation of Commitments. The Working Group acknowledges that the limited scope it has undertaken provides only a partial evaluation of all choices from the Internet end-user point of view. Considering this perspective, a full examination of choice should not only measure the diversity within registries and registrars, but also examine options that allow users to avoid direct use of the DNS altogether. Alternate methods of accessing Internet content and services (mobile apps, search engines, social portals, QR codes, etc.) are growing in popularity and themselves present innovative and competitive threats to ICANN-regulated TLDs. As such, they should be considered in any complete evaluation of consumer choice and trust related to ICANN in general and new gTLDs specifically. Also attached a redline from v4. Looking forward to finishing the Competition measures later today! -- Steve DelBianco Executive Director NetChoice http://www.NetChoice.org and http://blog.netchoice.org +1.202.420.7482 Attachment:
