Success Metrics (was Re: [ga] why we are being ignored)

[George Kirikos <gkirikos@yahoo.com>]

Hello,

While they're pondering new TLDs, have they ever issued a report on the
"success" of the old ones that were added?

In particular, has ICANN ever even defined metrics for judging the
success/failure of new TLDS? Without specifying those criteria IN
ADVANCE, the whole thing is a sham. This came up in the WLS debate,
too, where the only "success criteria" was whether Verisign makes money
(for real, check Verisign's answers to public questions in the document
at http://www.verisign-grs.com/wls_responses.pdf ), and no study of the
existing landscape was ever conducted, to be able to judge the impact
of any changes.

Sincerely,

George Kirikos
