  • Ftld Registrar - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
    fTLD Registrar - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) How do I become an fTLD registrar? See the information at BECOME AN fTLD REGISTRAR for details on the process. fTLD Registry System Who operates the fTLD Registry System? Verisign is the Registry Service Provider and Symantec is the Verification Agent. Is there a web interface available for registrars to process registrations for fTLD? No, fTLD registration is not supported by a web interface to EPP. Registration is initially first-come, first-served, but what is used to determine which registration arrived first? The registration that arrives at the EPP editor first and is put into pending create will lock the domain name until verification is either approved or rejected. Can eligible registrants register any domain name(s) they want? Any domain name(s) that corresponds to the registrant’s trademarks, trade names or service marks can be registered during General Availability. For guidance on selecting domains, please see the fTLD Name Selection Policies and their Implementation Guidelines here. Are there any differences between the “corresponds to” rule for domain names in .BANK and .INSURANCE? Yes, in .INSURANCE domain names must correspond to a trademark, trade name or service mark of the Applicant in bona fide use for the offering of goods or services, or provision of information, in the jurisdiction where the registrant is licensed, approved or certified to conduct business. Please consult section 3.1 of the .INSURANCE Name Selection Policy for specific information. When does the five-day (5) Add Grace Period start since domain names are put into a pending create status when initially registered? The five-day (5) Add Grace Period starts when the domain name has been put in pending create status by Verisign.

  • SAC101 SSAC Advisory Regarding Access to Domain Name Registration Data
    SAC101 SSAC Advisory Regarding Access to Domain Name Registration Data An Advisory from the ICANN Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) 14 June 2018 SSAC Advisory Regarding Access to Domain Name Registration Data Preface This is an advisory to the ICANN Board, the ICANN Organization staff, the ICANN community, and, more broadly, the Internet community from the ICANN Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) about access to domain name registration data and Registration Data Directory Services (RDDS). The SSAC focuses on matters relating to the security and integrity of the Internet’s naming and address allocation systems. This includes operational matters (e.g., pertaining to the correct and reliable operation of the root zone publication system), administrative matters (e.g., pertaining to address allocation and Internet number assignment), and registration matters (e.g., pertaining to registry and registrar services). SSAC engages in ongoing threat assessment and risk analysis of the Internet naming and address allocation services to assess where the principal threats to stability and security lie, and advises the ICANN community accordingly. The SSAC has no authority to regulate, enforce, or adjudicate. Those functions belong to other parties, and the advice offered here should be evaluated on its merits.

  • NEUSTAR Launch Policies
    .NEUSTAR Launch Policies Introduction This Plan has been developed to describe the Launch Program for the .NEUSTAR Top Level Domain ("TLD") by Neustar, Inc. ("Registry Operator"). As recognized by ICANN, the TLD qualifies as a .BRAND TLD and as such incorporates Specification 13 in the TLD’s Registry Agreement, which exempts Registry Operator from the requirement to conduct a Sunrise Period prior to opening up General Registration, or any other Limited Registration Period. As such, upon launch, the TLD will proceed immediately to General Availability. This document forms the complete initial plan, policy and process adopted by the Registry Operator for the launch of the TLD. Background Rights Protection Mechanisms and the Trademark Clearinghouse ICANN has established the Trademark Clearinghouse (“TMCH”) and associated processes and procedures so that the Registry Operator can comply with its obligation to implement Rights Protection Mechanisms. Registry Operator's implementation of the mandatory Claims Period has been integrated and tested with the TMCH Sunrise and Claims Operator appointed by ICANN (“TMCH Service Provider”). Information about the Trademark Clearinghouse and the TMCH Service Provider can be found at the following link http://trademark- clearinghouse.com/. Registry Operator's role is to verify that the information provided to it by a registrar matches the information that is contained in the TMCH. Registry Operator does not make any decisions about the validity or use of a mark or its inclusion in the Trademark Clearinghouse. If the event that Registry Operator changes the nature of the .NEUSTAR TLD such that the TLD no longer meets the criteria set forth in Specification 13, Registry Operator will implement a Sunrise Period and amend these launch policies to include the policies and procedures required under such Rights Protection Mechanism.

    MASTER DOMAIN REGISTRATION AGREEMENT THIS REGISTRATION AGREEMENT ("Agreement"), is between Tucows Domains Inc. ("Tucows") and you, on behalf of yourself or the entity you represent ("Registrant"), as offered through the Reseller participating in Tucows' distribution channel for domain name registrations. Any reference to "Registry" or "Registry Operator" shall refer to the registry administrator of the applicable top-level domain ("TLD"). This Agreement explains Tucows' obligations to Registrant, and Registrant's obligations to Tucows, for the domain registration services. By agreeing to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Registrant agrees to be bound by the rules and regulations set forth in this Agreement, and by a registry for that particular TLD. DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION. Domain name registrations are for a limited term, which ends on the expiration date communicated to the Registrant. A domain name submitted through Tucows will be deemed active when the relevant registry accepts the Registrant's application and activates Registrant's domain name registration or renewal. Tucows cannot guarantee that Registrant will obtain a desired domain name, even if an inquiry indicates that a domain name is available at the time of application. Tucows is not responsible for any inaccuracies or errors in the domain name registration or renewal process. FEES. Registrant agrees to pay Reseller the applicable service fees prior to the registration or renewal of a domain. All fees payable here under are non-refundable even if Registrant's domain name registration is suspended, cancelled or transferred prior to the end of your current registration term. TERM.

RDAP was designed by the weirds working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), in response to ICANN’s request for the IETF to develop a replacement for Whois. RDAP returns data similar to that provided by the Whois service, but in a JSON-structured format. With RDAP, you can look up the following object classes: 1. Domains 2. Name servers 3. Entities RDAP is intended to address deficiencies in the Whois protocol [RFC3912] that have been identified over time, including: Lack of standardised command structures Lack of standardised output and error structures Lack of support for internationalisation and localisation Lack of support for user identification, authentication and access control RDAP builds upon HTTP and the "REST" (REpresentational State Transfer) architectural style.

Boyd School of Law Follow this and additional works at: https://scholars.law.unlv.edu/facpub Part of the Intellectual Property Law Commons, International Law Commons, and the Internet Law Commons Recommended Citation Trimble, Marketa, "Territorialization of the Internet Domain Name System" (2018).

Boyd School of Law. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Territorialization of the Internet Domain Name System Marketa Trimble* Abstract Territorializationof the internet-the linking of the internet to physical geography is a growing trend. Internet users have become accustomed to the conveniences of localized advertising, have enjoyed location-based services, and have witnessed an increasing use of geolocation and geo- blocking tools by service and content providers who for various reasons- either allow or block access to internet content based on users' physical locations. This article analyzes whether, and if so how, the trend toward territorializationhas affected the internetDomain Name System (DNS). As a hallmark of cyberspace governance that aimed to be detached from the territorially-partitionedgovernance of the physical world, the DNS might have been expected to resist territorialization-a design that seems antithetical to the original design of and intent for the internet as a globally distributed network that lacks a single point of control.
