Wendy — we just finished a 2-hour call and made significant changes to the 
Competition measures.   So please let me update and circulate v6 before you 
review and comment.

I'll send it around tomorrow.   Gotta get home now for Valentines Day dinner!

Apologies, I've had conflicts on all the calls lately.  I'll review the
document and share notes.

Thanks,

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!
