 Enhanced Terms & Conditions for Registrar Accreditation Applications

4 October 2011

In order to provide further clarity on the respective obligations of the
applicant and ICANN in relation to registrar accreditation applications,
ICANN is introducing an enhanced set of terms and conditions for registrar
accreditation applications.

This step is one of the results of community input that called for the
strengthening of the requirements for registrar accreditation, and to
address changes that have arisen in the registrar marketplace. The
associated public comment period can be found at:
http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/public-comment-201101-en.htm#registrar-accredit-eval

The enhanced terms and conditions have been incorporated into the Registrar
Accreditation Application, which is available
here<http://www.icann.org/en/registrars/accreditation-application.htm>
.

A partial list of enhancements include:

   - Stronger terms governing the accuracy of the information provided by
   the applicant and an ongoing obligation to maintain accurate information
   during the course of the application process.
   - Granting ICANN permission and indemnification for conducting additional
   due diligence checks.
   - Sets forth in greater detail the application process and obligations.

The terms and conditions will apply to all applications received on or after
5 October 2011.
