<DIV>One very often over looked reality of this progression is that now almost 
no one can sit down across the table and work out an agreement regarding 
services about domain names.</DIV>

<DIV>You all live in a cookie cutter world, in ticky tacky little houses all in 
a row.&nbsp; Uniformity is great for the mass producer and protects the 
ignorant, but it is a death&nbsp;gong for the individual individual,<BR><BR>---

<DIV></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">Less than six months 
after new registrant protections were approved by the ICANN Board, over 88 
percent of all generic domain names are now covered.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">The protections include 
improved ways of storing data that require registration companies to submit to 
more stringent rules. These are included in a revised contract between ICANN 
and registrars, called the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA).</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">Since the revised RAA was 
approved on <SPAN class=mediumtext>21 May 2009</SPAN>, 650 registrars have 
voluntarily agreed to be bound by the new agreement; collectively they 
represent 88 percent of all generic top-level domains registered. In return, 
those that have signed the new agreement are recognized by ICANN on its listing 
of accredited companies.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">Under their existing 
contract, registrars are not required to sign up to the new RAA until their 
existing agreement ends, but they can voluntarily sign up early. The high level 
of coverage achieved to date is due primarily to these voluntary early 
adopters.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">ICANN CEO and President 
Rod Beckstrom said of the high sign-up rate: “The fact that the vast majority 
of generic domain names are now covered by these protections is a clear sign of 
the industry’s goodwill and its commitment to effective self-regulation - 
especially since some of these protections come at a cost to the companies 
themselves. It is an extraordinary achievement in a very short 
time.”</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">Some of the additional 
protections afforded registrants under the new contract include:</SPAN></DIV>
<UL type=disc>
<LI class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">Enhanced 
enforcement tools to assure registrar compliance with ICANN policies</SPAN> 
<LI class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">Enhanced 
data escrow requirements to protect registrants that use privacy or proxy 
services</SPAN> 
<LI class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">A 
Registrant Rights &amp; Responsibilities document</SPAN> 
<LI class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">New 
requirements placed on resellers</SPAN> 
<LI class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">Improved 
contact information requirements</SPAN> 
<LI class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">Registrar 
required training program</SPAN></LI></UL>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">“Registrars and the ICANN 
community successfully collaborated to make sure consumers are well protected 
while respecting the competitive marketplace ICANN has made part of its 
mandate,” said Mason Cole, Vice President of Oversee.net and chair of the 
Registrar Stakeholder Group. “It’s encouraging to see how quickly and 
assertively registrars have adopted the terms of the new 
agreement.”</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">As an aid to potential 
registrants, ICANN has added an indicator on each of our public lists of 
registrars to show which registrars have adopted the 2009 RAA. See:</SPAN></DIV>
