Accreditation Agreement (RAA) Subsection 3.7.7.3</span></h2>
<p style="margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif'">14
May 2010</span></p>
<span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif'">ICANN has observed community
comment concerning the interpretation of RAA Subsection 3.7.7.3. In order to
provide clarity, ICANN is posting for public comment the following draft
advisory <a href="http://www.icann.org/en/compliance/reports/draft-advisory-raa-3773-14may10-en.pdf">http://www.icann.org/en/compliance/reports/draft-advisory-raa-3773-14may10-en.pdf</a>
[PDF, 216 KB]. The forum will be open through 9 July 2010.</span><BR>
<span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif'">One central clarification: if
a Registered Name Holder licenses the use of a domain name to a third party, a
licensee, the third party is not the Registered Name Holder of record (or
"registrant"). This advisory also describes under what conditions
that a Registered Name Holder is to identify the licensee and to whom.</span><BR>
<span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif'">Community members are invited
to review the draft advisory and comment on all aspects of the document. At the
end of this Public Comment period, ICANN Staff will review the comments
submitted, prepare a summary analysis of the various submissions, and post the
final version of the advisory.</span><BR>
<span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif'">The Public Comment Forum is
