Overview:
ICANN's New gTLD Program has enabled hundreds of new top-level domains to enter into the Internet's root zone since the first delegation occurred in October 2013. Comprehensive reviews of the program have begun and will cover topics such as rights protection, program implementation, security and stability, and consumer trust and choice, and competition. This session will provide a high-level overview of the status of each review and detailed information on elements of reviews that are currently in focus, followed by an open Q&A section.
