Enhanced Terms & Conditions for Registrar Accreditation Applications
4 October 2011
In order to provide further clarity on the respective obligations of the 
applicant and ICANN in relation to registrar accreditation applications, ICANN 
is introducing an enhanced set of terms and conditions for registrar 
accreditation applications.
This step is one of the results of community input that called for the 
strengthening of the requirements for registrar accreditation, and to address 
changes that have arisen in the registrar marketplace. The associated public 
comment period can be found at: 
http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/public-comment-201101-en.htm#registrar-accredit-eval
The enhanced terms and conditions have been incorporated into the Registrar 
Accreditation Application, which is 
availablehere<http://www.icann.org/en/registrars/accreditation-application.htm>.
A partial list of enhancements include:
·         Stronger terms governing the accuracy of the information provided by 
the applicant and an ongoing obligation to maintain accurate information during 
the course of the application process.
·         Granting ICANN permission and indemnification for conducting 
additional due diligence checks.
·         Sets forth in greater detail the application process and obligations.
The terms and conditions will apply to all applications received on or after 5 
October 2011.
