[council] NCUC statement on Approval Process for Registry Services



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!
