Note 1. The term “Consumer” was specifically used in the Affirmation and the ICANN Board resolution that created this WG. The WG defines "Consumer" as "actual and potential users and registrants". Some commenters believe that the correct term to use in all publications instead of "Consumer" should be "Internet User" and "Consumers" as "Internet Users" whether they are registrants or not.
Note 2. The Consumer Trust definition has three aspects:
...
| Trustee (who/what is trusted) | Aspects (trust with respect to) |
|---|---|
| The overall domain name system | All aspects, including consistency of name resolution |
| TLD registry operator | Fulfilling its stated purpose and complying with ICANN policies and applicable national laws |
| ICANN, Registry operators and Registrars | Efforts to curtail susceptibility to abuse of the domain name system |
| ICANN | Ability to enforce requirements imposed on registrars and registry operators, including respect for intellectual property rights and avoidance/minimization efforts relating to fraud, crime, or other illegal conduct. |
