  4. 12 questions to be answered organised in sub-group (1/2) • Sub-group 1: Technical Impact of New TLDs • T1. Has there been any measurable or otherwise determinable effect on DNS performance, security, and stability with the introduction of the new gTLDs, including any impact on the root server system? • Sub-group 2: Performance of the DNS • T2. Have new TLD registries incorporated technologies, including new technologies, that can adversely affect the performance of the DNS, violate DNS technical standards, or cause existing applications to fail? • Sub-group 3: WhoIs • B3. To what extent and in what timeframe have the registry operators provided free, realtime access to a fully searchable Whois database? • Sub-group 4: Competition • B4. What effect have the new gTLDs had on the scope and competitiveness of the domain name market, in terms of opening new markets, and in their effect on existing TLDs and registrants? • Sub-group 5: Operational aspects of the start-up phases • B1. How effective have start-up mechanisms been in protecting trademark owners against cybersquatting and other abusive registrations? • B6. How effective were the different start-up mechanisms used, from both a functional and an operational perspective? To what extent did they meet their objectives or, conversely, cause consumer confusion, delays, legal issues, operational problems, or other impediments to smooth implementation?

  5. 12 questions to be answered organised in sub-group (2/2) • Sub-group 6: Legal aspects of the start-up phases • L3. Has there been any unusual number of legal disputes during the start-up period and how well have they been addressed? • B1. How effective have start-up mechanisms been in protecting trademark owners against cybersquatting and other abusive registrations? • B6. How effective were the different start-up mechanisms used, from both a functional and an operational perspective? To what extent did they meet their objectives or, conversely, cause consumer confusion, delays, legal issues, operational problems, or other impediments to smooth implementation? • Sub-group 7: Legal framework • L1. How well did the agreements provide a framework for implementing the objectives set by the Board? • L2. Have the new gTLDs encountered any legal or regulatory problems that were not considered at the outset, and, if so, how could they have been avoided? • Sub-group 8: Restriction on registration • B2. How often and how successfully have advance filtering and other mechanisms for enforcement of registration restrictions been used, both in sponsored gTLDs and in restricted unsponsored gTLDs? • Sub-group 9: Continuity of service • B5. Are adequate management policies and safeguards in place to ensure protection against accidental or malicious acts that could substantially interfere with continuity of service? • Sub-group 10: Process • P1. To what extent were the Board's original objectives met through the processes that were used for selection, approval, negotiation, and implementation? How could these processes have been streamlined?
