Commitment assessment: whether proposed commitments effectively address competition concerns and ensure implementable, monitorable remedies. The Commission assesses commitment terms by considering whether they address identified competition concerns, can be implemented effectively and expeditiously, are easy to monitor, and make markets more contestable. It also weighs procedural efficiencies, self executing terms, the type, duration and extent of the alleged conduct, the applicant's prior contraventions or pending investigations, previous settlements or commitments, and any voluntary modifications to conduct or policies to minimize future violations.
