 <BR>Registrars will be required to participate in the operation of a cross-registry<BR>WHOIS database, which will provide searching capabilities and access to all <BR>information concerning domain name registrations regardless of which TLD the<BR>domain name is registered in or which registrar processed the domain name <BR>application.<BR><BR>The requirement resulting out of this paragraph is out of scope for this<BR>agreement as it stands in no direct relation to the operations of the <BR>XXX registry.<BR><BR>It is our believe that substantial new and generic obligations to registrars <BR>should in any case be subject to the consensus policy process as mandated by the<BR>Registrar Accreditation Agreement (http://www.icann.org/registrars/ra-agreement-17may01.htm) <BR>which is designed to implement such new policies in a open and transparent way.<BR><BR>As the paragraph in question establishes a new and generic obligation for registrars<BR>we have to object to the inclusion !
 of this paragraph in the final verion of the<BR>XXX Registry Agreement
