ICANN Releases RAA Public Consultation Comments


Report compiles public input from Registrar Accreditation Agreement consultation

23 October 2007

MARINA DEL REY, Calif.: The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers today released a compilation of the public input received during the public comment period of the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) consultation process. 

ICANN had committed to release a complete summary and analysis of community feedback collected during the consultation process on revisions to the RAA. 

ICANN’s President and CEO Dr Paul Twomey started the review process back in March 2007 to look at ways registrants could be protected. The RAA is the contract that governs the relationship between ICANN and its accredited registrars. The current version was put in place in May 2001. The same contract is in place between ICANN and each of the more than 900 accredited registrars (a directory of which can be found at http://www.internic.net/regist.html). 

Protection of registrants and improving on the contractual relationship between ICANN and its accredited registrars are key elements of the discussion taking place. 

More information on the RAA consultation, as well as a link to the report on the public input, are available online at http://www.icann.org/topics/raa/
