ICANN Marketplace Stability

[ICANN Content]

The Marketplace Stability category of the Domain Name Marketplace Indicators (DNMI) tracks whether registries and registrars consistently deliver against their contractual obligations without causing harm to registrants. It is measured through a single dimension:

• Contractual Compliance (MS1): Examines the volume of registrant complaints filed against registries and registrars, and the length of domain registration periods as an indicator of registrant confidence and service provider compliance.

The following indicators are actively updated on an annual basis.

ID	Dataset Name	Dataset File
MS 1.1	Total number of gTLD registry operator and gTLD registrar related complaints	MS_1-1.csv
MS 1.4	Mean registration period for domains (by gTLD category)	MS_1-4.csv
