directed</a> by the ICANN Board, ICANN invites interested individuals to apply for volunteer Review Team Member positions – either in representation of a Supporting Organization or Advisory Committee, or as an Independent Expert – to serve on the Competition,
Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice Review Team (CCT-RT). The Review Team will work in two phases:</span><o:p></o:p></p>

</span></span></span><![endif]><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Phase One will occur as soon as the Review Team is appointed, and involves evaluating various metrics to be collected by ICANN as proposed by the GNSO Council, ALAC, and others, as
appropriate, and developing recommendations for the set of metrics to be collected by ICANN in preparation for the upcoming review of the New gTLDs, as described in Phase Two.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

</span></span></span><![endif]><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Phase Two will occur after new gTLDs have been in operation for one year, and involves examining data to assess the extent to which the introduction or expansion of gTLDs has promoted
competition, consumer trust, and consumer choice. Additionally, the Review Team will evaluate the effectiveness of the application and evaluation process, as well as the safeguards put in place by ICANN to mitigate issues involved in the introduction or expansion
of new gTLDs.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
