ICANN Formalizes Relationship with ccTLD Manager for Iceland
40th Accountability Framework continues work strengthening global cooperation
6 May 2008
RIO DE JANEIRO : Dr Paul Twomey, President and CEO of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, took part in today's opening session of the 2007 Internet Governance Forum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil:
MARINA DEL REY, Calif.: ICANN announced today that it has signed an exchange of letters with the country code top level domain (ccTLD) manager for .is—Iceland, Internet á Íslandi hf. (ISNIC).
"ICANN has been working hard to strengthen and formalize our global cooperation with ccTLD operators around the globe and hitting the milestone of 40 is something to celebrate," said Dr Paul Twomey, ICANN's President and CEO.
The Accountability Framework program provides two mechanisms by which ccTLD managers can formalise their relationship with ICANN.
The first is an Accountability Framework document that sets out the obligations of a ccTLD manager and ICANN. It also covers dispute resolution and termination and is designed for ccTLD managers requiring a formal document with ICANN.
The second mechanism is an exchange of letters between ICANN and the ccTLD manager designed for those for whom a simple statement of commitment is more appropriate.
Signed accountability framework and exchange of letters documents can be found at http://www.icann.org/cctlds/agreements.html.
