Description

For some time there have been concerns that new gTLD strings were already being informally used on the Internet. ICANN commissioned a study in 2013 to assess the extent of the problem. This was used by ICANN to develop a risk mitigation strategy. The key assumption behind that strategy was then examined in a followup study. An explanation of what was done and the findings from these studies are discussed in this presentation.
