  (d) compliance measures. The Registry Operator acknowledges that all registrars accredited by ICANN must enter into a Registrar Accreditation Agreement (“RAA”) with ICANN and ICANN may take certain compliance measures in response to an emergency or in accordance with the terms of the RAA, including suspending or terminating a registrar`s accreditation or suspending a registrar`s ability to create new registered names, or incoming names. Initiate transfers of registered names. ICANN may require the registry operator to take certain steps consistent with ICANN`s authority under the terms of the RAA to: (i) the ability of a registrar to create, suspend, or terminate new registered names, or (ii) transfer registered names to a registrar designated by ICANN. Together, these agreements deliver on commitments made by ICANN and Verisign in 2016 when they previously amended the AR .COM. The new conditions, which can now be commented on publicly, will improve the security, stability and resilience of the DNS. provide limited and transparent tariff flexibility for .COM registration services; and standardize the .COM AR by including certain technical and reporting requirements based on the terms of other registration agreements between ICANN and registration operators of other TLDs. (iii) Access to bulk zone files. The Registry Operator shall at all times grant ICANN bulk access to the registry area files for the TLD in such manner as ICANN may reasonably specify from time to time. Bulk access to area files is granted to third parties under the terms set forth in ICANN`s reasonably established TLD Area File Access Agreement, which is initially attached as Appendix 3. Changes to the Zone File Access Agreement may be made with the mutual written consent of ICANN and the Registry Operator (which neither party may unreasonably refuse).

  We have long since turned to the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) and the Department of Justice to regulate the pricing of .COM registration services as part of the cooperation agreement between Verisign and DOC. That has not changed. Verisign is also required to notify registrars for at least six months of any increase .COM wholesale prices. This allows registrars to register or renew .COM domain names on behalf of registrant customers during the notice period for a total registration period of up to 10 years at the current price before an increase. This makes it possible to secure current wholesale prices for up to 10 years. Under the amended cooperation agreement, the Department of Commerce noted that the domain name market had become more dynamic and concluded that it was in the public interest for Verisign and ICANN to be able to come to an agreement, among others. COM registry agreement to allow an increase in the price of registration services .COM up to a maximum of 7% in each of the last four years of each six-year period (the first half of the year). started on October 26, 2018). The proposed agreement announced today updates the .COM AR to reflect these changes. ICANN is not a price regulator and submits to the U.S. Department of Commerce and department of justice for price regulation of .COM registration services.

  Applicants must demonstrate, to ICANN`s reasonable satisfaction, that it is working diligently and in good faith to complete the steps required to be included in the registration agreement. Candidates who obtain an extension must meet the preliminary milestones depending on the activities to be completed. All applicants who have obtained an extension must sign the registration contract within the extended period or risk losing their eligibility to execute the registration agreement with ICANN. In addition, applicants who do not meet the tentative deadlines run the risk of losing their eligibility to execute the registration agreement with ICANN. If an applicant loses eligibility to perform the registration contract with ICANN, the status of their application is changed to “Will not continue”. (b) For all ICANN claims where multiple registry operators (including registry operators) were involved in the acts or omissions that resulted in the claim, the registry operator`s overall liability to indemnify ICANN in respect of that claim is limited to a percentage of ICANN`s total claim by dividing the total number of domain names registered with the registry operator in the TLD. is calculated (the names that are calculated as part of the registration in accordance with Article 7.2 of these CONDITIONS for each applicable quarter) by the total number of domain names registered in all TLDs for which registry operators are involved in the same acts or omissions that lead to such a claim. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that a Registry Operator is involved in the same acts or omissions that give rise to the above claims, but such Registry Operators do not have the same or similar indemnification obligations to ICANN under paragraph 8.1(a), the number of domains managed by such Registry Operator(s) will nevertheless be included in the calculation of the preceding sentence.
