Draft of New gTLD Program Implementation Review Available for Public Comment

23 September 2015 – ICANN today announced the publication of the draft New
gTLD Program Implementation Review, a self-assessment of the implementation
of New gTLD Program processes. The draft report is available for public
comment through 7 December 2015.

*Read the draft Program Implementation Review report
<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/reviews/implementation/draft-program-review-16sep15-en.pdf>
[PDF, 2.48 MB]*.

The report is ICANN's assessment of the effectiveness and efficiency of its
implementation of the program, and is intended to help inform a community
review team's assessment of the application and evaluation processes. This
document is intended to share ICANN's perspective on the execution of the
New gTLD Program, but as part of the review, ICANN considered feedback from
the many stakeholders who played a major role in the program, including
applicants, service providers and other members of the community.

With the draft report now published for public comment, ICANN is seeking
additional input from stakeholders. This stakeholder feedback will be
considered before the report is finalized.

*Comment on the report

.

"This review is one of several planned sets of assessments and activities
to help measure our progress against the goals of the New gTLD Program,"
said Akram Atallah, president of ICANN's Global Domains Division. "Once the
community has a chance to provide comments, we'll use the findings to help
shape future rounds of the program."

In implementing the New gTLD Program and reflecting upon the challenges of
execution, ICANN has identified several areas that may benefit from further
work and discussion.

The Program Implementation Review report supports one of several reviews

gTLD Program is promoting competition, consumer choice, and consumer trust.

About ICANN

*ICANN's mission is to ensure a stable, secure and unified global Internet.
To reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address into
your computer - a name or a number. That address has to be unique so
computers know where to find each other. ICANN coordinates these unique
identifiers across the world. Without that coordination we wouldn't have
one global Internet. ICANN was formed in 1998. It is a not-for-profit
public-benefit corporation with participants from all over the world
dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable. It
promotes competition and develops policy on the Internet's unique
identifiers. ICANN doesn't control content on the Internet. It cannot stop
spam and it doesn't deal with access to the Internet. But through its
coordination role of the Internet's naming system, it does have an
important impact on the expansion and evolution of the Internet. For more
