How are top level domain names doing? We might soon have a way to track them.
ICANN has formed a working group to create metrics designed to assess the overall health of the marketplace for gTLDs. Preliminary documents indicate that the scope may include all gTLDs rather than just the ones commonly referred to as “new gTLDs.”
According to recent documents, the time frame for publishing the first report is summer 2016. A peek into the metrics named reveals that reporting will include gTLD renewal rates, average price, compliance issues per gTLD, and new registrations by geography.
