    ICANN Publishes Updated gTLD Marketplace Health Index

21 December 2016

LOS ANGELES – 21 December 2016 – Today, ICANN published an update to the
gTLD Marketplace Health Index (Beta), which presents statistics and

The gTLD Marketplace Health Index (Beta) was first published in July
2016. ICANN plans to publish these statistics twice a year to track
progress against its goal of supporting the evolution of the domain name
marketplace to be robust, stable and trusted. A community Advisory Panel
<https://community.icann.org/display/projgtldmarkthealth/gTLD+Marketplace+Health+Index>
is working with ICANN to refine the Index in preparation for publishing
version 1.0.
