ICANN Launches Contractual Compliance Newsletter

3 April 2008

 

MARINA DEL REY, Calif.: The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers today launched the Contractual Compliance Newsletter, a newsletter
that offers a snapshot of the wide range of compliance work being done by
ICANN.

 

Each issue of the newsletter will cover enforcement statistics, an in-depth
look at part of the compliance process, information about audits and
studies, and upcoming events. The Newsletter will also include new
advisories for registries and registrars to help them understand and
continue to improve their compliance with ICANN contracts.

 

In recent feedback on ICANNs performance under the Joint Project Agreement
with the US National Telecommunications Infrastructure Administration, there
was input about ICANN's work on Whois accuracy, and that compliance needed
to be better understood. ICANN's goal is that this newsletter will be an
important way to address these concerns and continue community dialogue
about how to improve contractual compliance.

 

The first issue of the Newsletter explains why and how ICANN does contract
compliance with our contracted parties; gTLD registries and registrars. It
also includes statistics on the consumer complaints ICANN receives and on
enforcement notices we send out. This issues section on studies and audits
includes an update on the Whois Data Accuracy Study, the Registrar Whois
Data Inaccuracy Audit and the Performance Specifications Audit of
Registries.

 

Please send your comments about the newsletter and any topics you would like
to see covered in it to compliance@xxxxxxxxx.
