wants to have a discussion about consumer
trust as a broad ICANN obligation, that is
a community decision. The Affirmation of

Paragraph 9.3, entitled
“Promoting competition, consumer
trust, and consumer choice,”
obligates ICANN to “ensure” that
“as it contemplates expanding
the top-level domain space, the
various issues that are involved
(including competition, consumer
protection, security, stability
and resiliency, malicious abuse
issues, sovereignty concerns,
and rights protection) will be
adequately addressed prior to
implementation.” It goes on to
require ICANN to conduct
specific reviews at specified
intervals following the
introduction of new gTLDs. </span><span
