[Ssr2-review] A question regarding the decrease in delegation of new gTLDs

[Heather Flanagan]

Hello all,

In the Name Collision section, the RT states the following:

"However, it is important to note that decrease of traditional reporting mechanisms of name collisions may not be seen as absence of name collisions. Rather, the SSR2 Review Team believes that it could be because the nature of occurrence of name collisions might have been changed as well as the decrease in the delegation of new gTLDs in recent years."

I’d like to point to something where a reader can verify that there has been a decrease in the delegation of new gTLDs in recent years. The original draft text did not include a pointer to anything that backs up this statement. I had thought to point to https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/statistics, but as far as I can tell, that site does not offer insight into the rate of delegation over time. The page is a rather strange combination of current data, updated monthly, and stats from 2012-2013, and nothing in between.

Am I looking at the right place for this kind of data? Does anyone have any better data to cite?
