LOS ANGELES – The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announced the release of updated Domain Name Marketplace Indicators through the ICANN Open Data Platform. According to the Corporation, the indicators reflect industry metrics related to generic top-level domains (gTLDs) and country code top-level domains (ccTLDs), with the aim of fostering greater transparency for reputable information on the evolution of the domain name marketplace.

The launch of the Domain Name Marketplace Indicators within the Open Data Platform represents a key milestone as the new platform allows for improved access to, and presentation of, metrics and data. Through the Open Data Platform, users can now search, browse, view, and download available indicators, as well as utilize various analysis and visualization tools.

"The Domain Name Marketplace Indicators are an important resource that aims to provide reliable and pertinent information on the evolution of the domain name marketplace," said Theresa Swinehart, ICANN Senior Vice President of Global Domains Division (GDD) and Multistakeholder Strategy & Strategic Initiatives (MSSI). "Having these metrics available through the Open Data Platform will greatly enhance access, transparency, and increase their utility for the community."

ICANN plans to continue to expand the coverage of shortlisted Domain Name Marketplace Indicators and publish these metrics twice a year in order to track progress against its goal of supporting the evolution of the domain name marketplace to be robust, stable, and trusted. ICANN org will also continue to work with the community and the project Advisory Panel to evaluate additional enhancements that might be incorporated into the initiative in the future.
