Marc,
a lot of consumer protection is of course content related and
ICANN has no role to play in content regulation. However, ICANN does have a role
in areas related to consumer/user welfare such as:
- the avoidance of deceptive domain names,
- ability to re-delegate a TLD to a new registry in the
event of registry failure,
- avoiding unfair and uncompetitive practices on the supply
side.
That list is quite enough for now I suspect!
