Registrarshall comply with any such Consensus Policy. 3.3.8 Registrarshall meet or exceed the requirements set forth in the Whois Specification. 3.4 Retention of Registered Name Holder and Registration Data. 3.4.1 For each Registered Name sponsored by Registrar within agTLD, Registrarshall collect and securely maintain, in its own electronic database, as updated from time to time: 3.4.1.1 the data specified in the Data Retention Specification attached hereto for the period specified therein; 3.4.1.2 The data elements listed in Subsections 3.3.1.1 through 3.3.1.8; 3.4.1.3 the name and (where available) postal address, e-mail address, voice telephone number, and fax number of the billing contact;

Such copies are to be provided at Registrar’s expense. In responding to ICANN’s request for delivery of electronic data, information and records, Registrar may submit such information in a format reasonably convenient to Registrar and acceptable to ICANN so as to minimize disruption to the Registrar’s business. In the event Registrar believes that the provision of any such data, information or records to ICANN would
violate applicable law or any legal proceedings, ICANN and Registrar agree to discuss in good faith whether appropriate limitations, protections, or alternative solutions can be identified to allow the production of such data, information or records incomplete or redacted form, as appropriate.

For this purpose,a charge to a credit card, general commercial terms extended to creditworthy customers, or other mechanism providing a similar level of assurance of paymentshall be sufficient, provided that the obligation to pay becomes final and non-revocable by the Registered Name Holder upon activation of the registration. 3.7.5 At the conclusion of the registration period, failure by or on behalf of the Registered Name Holder to consent that the registration be renewed within the time specified in a second notice or remindershall, in the absence of extenuating circumstances, result in cancellation of the registration by the end of the auto-renew grace period (although Registrar may choose to cancel the name earlier). 3.7.5.1 Extenuating circumstances are defined as: UDRP action, valid court order, failure of a Registrar's renewal process (which does not include failure of a registrant to respond), the domain name is used by a nameserver that provides DNS service to third-parties (additional time maybe required to migrate the records managed by the nameserver), the registrant is subject to bankruptcy proceedings, payment dispute (where a registrant claims to have paid for a renewal, or a discrepancy in the amount paid),billing dispute (where a registrant disputes the amount on a bill), domain name subject to litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction, or other circumstance as approved specifically by ICANN.
3.7.5.2 Where Registrar chooses, under extenuating circumstances, to renew a domain name without the explicit consent of the registrant, the registrar must maintain a record of the extenuating circumstances associated with renewing that specific domain name for inspection by ICANN consistent with clauses 3.4.2 and 3.4.3 of this registrar accreditation agreement. 3.7.5.3 In the absence of extenuating circumstances (as defined in Section 3.7.5.1 above),a domain name must be deleted within 45 days of either the registrar or the registrant terminating a registration agreement. 3.7.5.4 Registrarshall provide notice to each new registrant describing the details of their deletion and auto-renewal policy including the expected time at which anon-renewed domain name would be deleted relative to the domain's expiration date, or a date range not to exceed ten (10) days in length. If a registrar makes any material changes to its deletion policy during the period of the registration agreement, it must make at least the same effort to inform the registrant of the changes as it would to inform the registrant of other material changes to the registration agreement (as defined in clause 3.7.7 of the registrars accreditation agreement). 3.7.5.5 If Registrar operates a website for domain name registration or renewal, details of Registrar's deletion and auto-renewal policies must be clearly displayed on the website. 3.7.5.6 If Registrar operates a website for domain registration or renewal, it should state, both at the time of registration and in a clear place on its website, any fee charged for the recovery of a domain name during the Redemption Grace Period. 3.7.5.7 In the event that a domain which is the subject of a UDRP dispute is deleted or expires during the course of the dispute, the complainant in the UDRP dispute will have the option to renew or restore the name under the same commercial terms as the registrant. If the complainant renews or restores the name, the name will be placed in Registrar HOLD and Registrar LOCK status, the WHOIS contact information for the registrant will be removed, and the WHOIS entry will indicate that the name is subject to dispute. If the complaint is terminated, or the UDRP dispute finds against the complainant, the name will be deleted within 45 days. The registrant retains the right under the existing redemption grace period provisions to recover the name at anytime during the Redemption Grace Period, and retains the right to renew the name before it is deleted.
3.7.6 Registrarshall not insert or renew any Registered Name in any gTLD registry in a manner contrary to (i) any Consensus Policy stating a list or specification of excluded Registered Names that is in effect at the time of insertion or renewal, or (ii) any list of names to be reserved from registration as required by the specific Registry Operator for which the Registrar is providing Registrar Services. 3.7.7 Registrarshall require all Registered Name Holders to enter into an electronic or paper registration agreement with Registrar including at least the provisions set forth in Subsections 3.7.7.1 through 3.7.7.12, and which agreementshall otherwise set forth the terms and conditions applicable to the registration of a domain name sponsored by Registrar. The Registered Name Holder with whom Registrar enters into a registration agreement must be a person or legal entity other than the Registrar, provided that Registrar maybe the Registered Name Holder for domains registered for the purpose of conducting its Registrar Services, in which case the Registrarshall submit to the provisions set forth in Subsections 3.7.7.1 through 3.7.7.12 and shall be responsible to ICANN for compliance with all obligations of the Registered Name Holder asset forth in this Agreement and Specifications and Policies. Registrarshall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce compliance with the provisions of the registration agreement between Registrar and any Registered Name Holder that relate to implementing the requirements of Subsections 3.7.7.1 through 3.7.7.12 or any Consensus Policy. 3.7.7.1 The Registered Name Holdershall provide to Registrar accurate and reliable contact details and correct and update them within seven (7) days of any change during the term of the Registered Name registration, including: the full name, postal address,e-mail address, voice telephone number, and fax number if available of the Registered Name Holder; name of authorized person for contact purposes in the case of an Registered Name Holder that is an organization, association, or corporation; and the data elements listed in Subsections 3.3.1.2, 3.3.1.7 and 3.3.1.8. 3.7.7.2 A Registered Name Holder's willful provision of inaccurate or unreliable information, its willful failure to update information provided to Registrar within seven (7) days of any change, or its failure to respond for over fifteen (15) days to inquiries by Registrar concerning the accuracy of contact details associated with the Registered Name Holder's registrationshall constitute a material breach of the Registered Name Holder-registrar contract and be a basis for suspension and/or cancellation of the Registered Name registration. 3.7.7.3 Any Registered Name Holder that intends to license use of a domain name to a third party is nonetheless the Registered Name

ICANN will consider the public comments submitted on a Special Amendment during the Posting Period (including comments submitted by the Applicable Registrars). 6.3 If, within one hundred eighty (180) calendar days following the expiration of the Posting Period (the “Approval Period”), the ICANN Board of Directors approves a Special Amendment (which maybe in a form different than submitted for public comment, but must address the subject matter of the Special Amendment posted for public comment, as modified to reflect and/or address input from the Working Group and public comments), ICANN shall provide notice of, and submit, such Special Amendment for approval or disapproval by the Applicable Registrars. If, during the sixty (60) calendar day period following the date ICANN provides such notice to the Applicable Registrars, such Special Amendment receives Registrar Approval, such Special Amendmentshall be deemed approved (an “Approved Amendment”) by the Applicable Registrars, and shall be effective and deemed an amendment to this Agreement on the date that is sixty (60) calendar days following the date ICANN provided notice of the approval of such Approved Amendment to Registrar (the “Amendment Effective Date”). In the event that a Special Amendment does not receive Registrar Approval, the Special Amendmentshall be deemed not approved by the Applicable Registrars (a “Rejected Amendment”). A Rejected Amendment will have no effect on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, except asset forth below. 6.4 If the ICANN Board of Directors reasonably determines that a Rejected Amendment falls within the subject matter categories set forth in Section 1.2 of the Consensus Policies and Temporary Policies Specification, the ICANN Board of Directors may adopt a resolution (the date such resolution is adopted is referred to herein as the “Resolution Adoption Date”) requesting an Issue Report (as such term is defined in ICANN’s Bylaws) by the Generic Names Supporting Organization (the “GNSO”) regarding the substance of such Rejected Amendment. The policy development process undertaken by the GNSO pursuant to such requested Issue Report is referred to herein as a “PDP.” If such PDP results in a Final Report supported by a GNSO Supermajority (as defined in ICANN’s Bylaws) that either (i) recommends adoption of the Rejected Amendment as Consensus Policy or (ii) recommends against adoption of the Rejected Amendment as Consensus Policy, and, in the case of (i) above, the Board adopts such Consensus Policy, Registrarshall comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement. In either case, ICANN will abandon the Rejected Amendment and it will have no effect on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4, the ICANN Board of Directors shall not be required to initiate a PDP with respect to aRejected Amendment if, at anytime in the twelve (12) month period preceding the submission of such Rejected Amendment for Registrar Approval pursuant to Section 6.3, the subject matter of such Rejected Amendment was the
subject of a concluded or otherwise abandoned or terminated PDP that did not result in a GNSO Supermajority recommendation. 6.5 If (i) a Rejected Amendment does not fall within the subject matter categories set forth in Section 1.2 of the Consensus Policies and Temporary Policies Specification , (ii) the subject matter of a Rejected Amendment was, at anytime in the twelve (12) month period preceding the submission of such Rejected Amendment for Registrar Approval pursuant to Section 6.3, the subject of a concluded or otherwise abandoned or terminated PDP that did not result in a GNSO Supermajority recommendation, or (iii) a PDP does not result in a Final Report supported by a GNSO Supermajority that either (a) recommends adoption of the Rejected Amendment as Consensus Policy or (b) recommends against adoption of the Rejected Amendment as Consensus Policy (or such PDP has otherwise been abandoned or terminated for any reason), then, in any such case, such Rejected Amendment may still be adopted and become effective in the manner described below. In order for the Rejected Amendment to be adopted, the following requirements must be satisfied: 6.5.1 the subject matter of the Rejected Amendment must be within the scope of ICANN’s mission and consistent with a balanced application of its core values (as described in ICANN’s Bylaws); 6.5.2 the Rejected Amendment must be justified by a Substantial and Compelling Reason in the Public Interest, must be likely to promote such interest, taking into account competing public and private interests that are likely to be affected by the Rejected Amendment, and must be narrowly tailored and no broader than reasonably necessary to address such Substantial and Compelling Reason in the Public Interest; 6.5.3 to the extent the Rejected Amendment prohibits or requires conduct or activities, imposes material costs on the Applicable Registrars, and/or materially reduces public access to domain name services, the Rejected Amendment must be the least restrictive means reasonably available to address the Substantial and Compelling Reason in the Public Interest; 6.5.4 the ICANN Board of Directors must submit the Rejected Amendment, along with awritten explanation of the reasoning related to its determination that the Rejected Amendment meets the requirements set out in subclauses (i) through (iii) above, for public comment for a period of no less than thirty (30) calendar days; and 6.5.5 following such public comment period, the ICANN Board of Directors must (i) engage in consultation (or direct ICANN management to engage in consultation) with the Working Group, subject matter experts, members of the GNSO, relevant advisory committees and other interested stakeholders with respect to such Rejected Amendment for a period of no less than sixty
(60) calendar days; and (ii) following such consultation, reapprove the Rejected Amendment (which maybe in a form different than submitted for Registrar Approval, but must address the subject matter of the Rejected Amendment, as modified to reflect and/or address input from the Working Group and public comments) by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the members of the ICANN Board of Directors eligible to vote on such matter, taking into account any ICANN policy affecting such eligibility, including ICANN’s Conflict of Interest Policy (a “Board Amendment”). Such Board Amendmentshall, subject to Section 6.6, be deemed an Approved Amendment, and shall be effective and deemed an amendment to this Agreement on the date that is sixty (60) calendar days following the date ICANN provided notice of the approval of such Board Amendment to Registrar (which effective dateshall be deemed the Amendment Effective Date hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Board Amendment may not amend the registrar fees charged by ICANN hereunder, or amend this Section 6. 6.6 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.5, a Board Amendmentshall not be deemed an Approved Amendment if, during the thirty (30) calendar day period following the approval by the ICANN Board of Directors of the Board Amendment, the Working Group, on the behalf of the Applicable Registrars, submits to the ICANN Board of Directors an alternative to the Board Amendment (an “Alternative Amendment”) that meets the following requirements: 6.6.1 sets forth the precise text proposed by the Working Group to amend this Agreement in lieu of the Board Amendment; 6.6.2 addresses the Substantial and Compelling Reason in the Public Interest identified by the ICANN Board of Directors as the justification for the Board Amendment; and 6.6.3 compared to the Board Amendment is: (a) more narrowly tailored to address such Substantial and Compelling Reason in the Public Interest, and (b) to the extent the Alternative Amendment prohibits or requires conductor activities, imposes material costs on Affected Registrars, or materially reduces access to domain name services, is a less restrictive means to address the Substantial and Compelling Reason in the Public Interest. Any proposed amendment that does not meet the requirements of subclauses 6.6.1 through 6.6.3 in the immediately preceding sentenceshall not be considered an Alternative Amendment hereunder and therefore shall not supersede or delay the effectiveness of the Board Amendment. If, following the submission of the Alternative Amendment to the ICANN Board of Directors, the Alternative Amendment receives Registrar Approval, the Alternative Amendmentshall supersede the Board Amendment and shall be deemed an Approved Amendment hereunder (and shall be effective and deemed an amendment to this Agreement on
the date that is sixty (60) calendar days following the date ICANN provided notice of the approval of such Alternative Amendment to Registrar, which effective dateshall deemed the Amendment Effective Date hereunder), unless, within a period of sixty (60) calendar days following the date that the Working Group notifies the ICANN Board of Directors of Registrar Approval of such Alternative Amendment (during which time ICANN shall engage with the Working Group with respect to the Alternative Amendment), the ICANN Board of Directors by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the members of the ICANN Board of Directors eligible to vote on such matter, taking into account any ICANN policy affecting such eligibility, including ICANN’s Conflict of Interest Policy, rejects the Alternative Amendment. If (A) the Alternative Amendment does not receive Registrar Approval within thirty (30) days of submission of such Alternative Amendment to the Applicable Registrars (and the Working Groupshall notify ICANN of the date of such submission), or (B) the ICANN Board of Directors rejects the Alternative Amendment by such two-thirds vote, the Board Amendment (and not the Alternative Amendment) shall be effective and deemed an amendment to this Agreement on the date that is sixty (60) calendar days following the date ICANN provided notice to Registrar (which effective date shall deemed the Amendment Effective Date hereunder). If the ICANN Board of Directors rejects an Alternative Amendment, the boardshall publish a written rationale setting forth its analysis of the criteria set forth in Sections 6.6.1 through 6.6.3. The ability of the ICANN Board of Directors to reject an Alternative Amendment hereunder does not relieve the Board of the obligation to ensure that any Board Amendment meets the criteria set forth in Section 6.5.1 through 6.5.5. 6.7 In the event that Registrar believes an Approved Amendment does not meet the substantive requirements set out in this Section 6 or has been adopted in contravention of any of the procedural provisions of this Section 6,Registrar may challenge the adoption of such Special Amendment pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions set forth in Section 5.8, except that such arbitration shall be conducted by a three-person arbitration panel. Any such challenge must be brought within sixty (60) calendar days following the date ICANN provided notice to Registrar of the Approved Amendment, and ICANN may consolidate all challenges brought by registrars (including Registrar) into asingle proceeding. The Approved Amendment will be deemed not to have amended this Agreement during the pendency of the dispute resolution process. 6.8 Registrar may apply in writing to ICANN for an exemption from the Approved Amendment (each such request submitted by Registrar hereunder, an “Exemption Request”) during the thirty (30) calendar day period following the date ICANN provided notice to Registrar of such Approved Amendment. 6.8.1 Each Exemption Request will set forth the basis for such request and provide detailed support for an exemption from the Approved Amendment. An Exemption Request may also include a detailed description and support for any alternatives to, or a variation of, the Approved Amendment proposed by such Registrar.
6.8.2 An Exemption Request may only be granted upon a clear and convincing showing by Registrar that compliance with the Approved Amendment conflicts with applicable laws or would have a material adverse effect on the long-term financial condition or results of operations of Registrar. No Exemption Request will be granted if ICANN determines, in its reasonable discretion, that granting such Exemption Request would be materially harmful to registrants or result in the denial of a direct benefit to registrants. 6.8.3 Within ninety (90) calendar days of ICANN’s receipt of an Exemption Request, ICANN shall either approve (which approval maybe conditioned or consist of alternatives to or a variation of the Approved Amendment) or deny the Exemption Request in writing, during which time the Approved Amendment will not amend this Agreement. 6.8.4 If the Exemption Request is approved by ICANN, the Approved Amendment will not amend this Agreement; provided, that any conditions, alternatives or variations of the Approved Amendment required by ICANN shall be effective and, to the extent applicable, will amend this Agreement as of the Amendment Effective Date. If such Exemption Request is denied by ICANN, the Approved Amendment will amend this Agreement as of the Amendment Effective Date (or, if such date has passed, such Approved Amendmentshall be deemed effective immediately on the date of such denial), provided that Registrar may, within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of ICANN’s determination, appeal ICANN’s decision to deny the Exemption Request pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 5.8. 6.8.5 The Approved Amendment will be deemed not to have amended this Agreement during the pendency of the dispute resolution process. For avoidance of doubt, only Exemption Requests submitted by Registrar that are approved by ICANN pursuant to this Article 6 or through an arbitration decision pursuant to Section 5.8 shall exempt Registrar from any Approved Amendment, and no Exemption Request granted to any other Applicable Registrar (whether by ICANN or through arbitration), shall have any effect under this Agreement or exempt Registrar from any Approved Amendment. 6.9 Except asset forth in Section 4, Subsection 5.3, this Section 6, Section 7.4 and as otherwise set forth in this Agreement and the Specifications hereto, no amendment, supplement or modification of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be binding unless executed in writing by both parties, and nothing in this Section 6 or Section 7.4 shall restrict ICANN and Registrar from entering into bilateral amendments and modifications to this Agreement negotiated solely between the two parties. No waiver of any provision of this Agreementshall be binding unless evidenced by a writing signed by the party waiving compliance with such provision. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement or failure to
enforce any of the provisions hereof shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof, nor shall any such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6 or Section 7.4 shall be deemed to limit Registrar’s obligation to comply with Section 4. 6.10 Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6 to the contrary, (a) if Registrar provides evidence to ICANN’s reasonable satisfaction that the Approved Amendment would materially increase the cost of providing Registrar Services, then ICANN will allow up to one-hundred eighty (180) calendar days for the Approved Amendment to become effective with respect to Registrar, and (b) no Approved Amendment adopted pursuant to Section 6 shall become effective with respect to Registrar if Registrar provides ICANN with an irrevocable notice of termination pursuant to Section 5.4. 7. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. 7.1 Specific Performance. While this Agreement is in effect, either party may seek specific performance of any provision of this Agreement in the manner provided in Section 5.8, provided the party seeking such performance is not in material breach of its obligations. 7.2 Handling by ICANN of Registrar-Supplied Data. Before receiving any Personal Data from Registrar, ICANN shall specify to Registrar in writing the purposes for and conditions under which ICANN intends to use the Personal Data. ICANN may from time to time provide Registrar with a revised specification of such purposes and conditions, which specificationshall become effective no fewer than thirty (30) days after it is provided to Registrar. ICANN shall not use Personal Data provided by Registrar for a purpose or under conditions inconsistent with the specification in effect when the Personal Data was provided. ICANN shall take reasonable steps to avoid uses of the Personal Data by third parties inconsistent with the specification. 7.3 Assignment; Change of Ownership or Management. 7.3.1 Except asset forth in this Section 7.3.1, either party may assign or transfer this Agreement only with the prior written consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If ICANN fails to expressly provide or withhold its consent to any requested assignment (an “Assignment Request”) of this Agreement by Registrar within thirty (30) calendar days of ICANN’s receipt of notice of such Assignment Request (or, if ICANN has requested additional information from Registrar in connection with its review of such request, sixty (60) calendar days of the receipt of all requested written information regarding such request) from Registrar, ICANN shall be deemed to have consented to such requested assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) ICANN may assign this Agreement without the consent of Registrar upon approval of the ICANN Board of Directors in conjunction with
areorganization, reconstitution or re-incorporation of ICANN upon such assignee’s express assumption of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (ii) Registrar may assign this Agreement without the consent of ICANN to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Registrar upon such subsidiary’s express assumption of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (iii) ICANN shall be deemed to have consented to an Assignment Request in which the assignee associated with such Assignment Request is a party to a Registrar Accreditation Agreement with ICANN on the terms set forth in this Agreement (provided that such assignee is then in compliance with the terms and conditions of such Registrar Accreditation Agreement in all material respects), unless ICANN provides to Registrar a written objection to such Assignment Request within ten (10) calendar days of ICANN’s receipt of notice of such Assignment Request pursuant to this Section 7.3.1. 7.3.2 To the extent that an entity acquires a Controlling interest in Registrar’s stock, assets or business, Registrarshall provide ICANN notice within seven (7) days of such an acquisition. Such notificationshall include a statement that affirms that Registrar meets the Specification or Policy on Accreditation criteria then in effect, and is in compliance with its obligations under this Agreement. Within thirty (30) days of such notification, ICANN may request additional information from the Registrar establishing compliance with this Agreement, in which case Registrar must supply the requested information within fifteen (15) days. Any disputes concerning Registrar's continued Accreditation shall be resolved pursuant to Section 5.8. 7.4 Negotiation Process. 7.4.1 If either the Chief Executive Officer of ICANN (“CEO”) or the Chairperson of the Registrar Stakeholder Group (“Chair”) desires to discuss any revision(s) to this Agreement, the CEO or Chair, as applicable, shall provide written notice to the other person, which shall set forth in reasonable detail the proposed revisions to this Agreement (a “Negotiation Notice”).

7.4.3 If, following the conclusion of the Discussion Period, an agreement is reached on the Proposed Revisions, ICANN shall post the mutually agreed Proposed Revisions on its website for public comment for no less than thirty (30) calendar days (the “Posting Period”) and provide notice of such revisions to all Applicable Registrars in accordance with Section 7.6. ICANN and the Working Group will consider the public comments submitted on the Proposed Revisions during the Posting Period (including comments submitted by the Applicable Registrars). Following the conclusion of the Posting Period, the Proposed Revisions shall be submitted for Registrar Approval and approval by the ICANN Board of Directors. If such approvals are obtained, the Proposed Revisions shall be deemed an Approved Amendment by the Applicable Registrars and ICANN, and shall be effective and deemed an amendment to this Agreement upon sixty (60) calendar days notice from ICANN to Registrar. 7.4.4 If, following the conclusion of the Discussion Period, an agreement is not reached between ICANN and the Working Group on the Proposed Revisions, either the CEO or the Chair may provide the other person written notice (the “Mediation Notice”) requiring each party to attempt to resolve the disagreements related to the Proposed Revisions through impartial, facilitative (non-evaluative) mediation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below. In the event that a Mediation Notice is provided, ICANN and the Working Groupshall, within fifteen (15) calendar days thereof, simultaneously post the text of their desired version of the Proposed Revisions and a position paper with respect thereto on ICANN’swebsite. 7.4.4.1 The mediation shall be conducted by a single mediator selected by the parties.

Any mediator must confirm in writing that he or she is not, and will not become during the term of the mediation, an employee, partner, executive officer, director, or security holder of ICANN or an Applicable Registrar. If such confirmation is not provided by the appointed mediator, then a replacement mediatorshall be appointed pursuant to this Section 7.4.4.1. 7.4.4.2 The mediatorshall conduct the mediation in accordance with the rules and procedures for facilitative mediation that he or she determines following consultation with the parties.

If such approvals are obtained, the Proposed Revisions shall be deemed an Approved Amendment by the Applicable Registrars and ICANN, and shall be effective and deemed an amendment to this Agreement upon sixty (60) days notice from ICANN to Registrar. 7.4.4.5 If the parties have not resolved the dispute for any reason by the date that is ninety (90) calendar days following receipt by the CEO or Chair, as applicable, of the Mediation Notice, the mediation shall automatically terminate (unless extended by agreement of the parties). The mediatorshall deliver to the parties a definition of the issues that could be considered in future arbitration, if invoked. Those issues are subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.4.5.2 below. 7.4.5 If, following mediation, ICANN and the Working Group have not reached an agreement on the Proposed Revisions, either the CEO or the Chair may provide the other person written notice (an “Arbitration Notice”) requiring ICANN and the Applicable Registry Operators to resolve the dispute through binding arbitration in accordance with the arbitration provisions of Section 5.8, subject to the requirements and limitations of this Section 7.4.5. 7.4.5.1 If an Arbitration Notice is sent, the mediator’sdefinition of issues, along with the Proposed Revisions (be those from ICANN, Registrars or both) shall be posted for public comment on ICANN’s website for a period of no less than thirty (30) calendar days.

Validate that telephone numbers are in the proper format according to the ITU-T E.164 notation for international telephone numbers (or its equivalents or successors). d. Validate that postal addresses are in a proper format for the applicable country or territory as defined in UPU Postal addressing format templates, the S42 address templates (as they maybe updated) or other standard formats. e. Validate that all postal address fields are consistent across fields (for example: street exists in city, city exists in state/province, city matches postal code) where such information is technically and commercially feasible for the applicable country or territory. f. Verify: i. the email address of the Registered Name Holder (and, if different, the Account Holder) by sending an email requiring an affirmative response through a tool-based authentication method such as providing a unique code that must be returned in a manner designated by the Registrar, or ii.the telephone number of the Registered Name Holder (and, if different, the Account Holder) by either (A) calling or sending an SMS to the Registered Name Holder’s telephone number providing a unique code that must be returned in a manner designated by the Registrar, or (B) calling the Registered Name Holder’s telephone number and requiring the Registered Name Holder to provide a unique code that was sent to the
Registered Name Holder via web, email or postal mail. In either case, if Registrar does not receive an affirmative response from the Registered Name Holder, Registrarshall either verify the applicable contact information manually or suspend the registration, until such time as Registrar has verified the applicable contact information. If Registrar does not receive an affirmative response from the Account Holder, Registrarshall verify the applicable contact information manually, but is not required to suspend any registration. 2. Except as provided in Section 3 below, within fifteen (15) calendar days after receiving any changes to contact information in Whois or the corresponding customer account contact information related to any Registered Name sponsored by Registrar (whether or not Registrar was previously required to perform the validation and verification requirements set forth in this Specification in respect of such Registered Name), Registrar will validate and, to the extent required by Section 1, verify the changed fields in the manner specified in Section 1 above.

The terms and conditions of this Specificationshall be reviewed by ICANN in consultation with the Registrar Stakeholder Group on or about the first anniversaryof the date that the form of this Agreement is first executed by a registrar. 7. Nothing within this Specificationshall be deemed to require Registrar to perform verification or validation of any customer account holder information where the customer account holder does not have any Registered Names under sponsorship of Registrar.
WHOIS ACCURACY PROGRAM SPECIFICATION
Registrarshall implement and comply with the requirements set forth in this Specification, as well as any commercially practical updates to this Specification that are developed by ICANN and the Registrar Stakeholder Group during the Term of the Registrar Accreditation Agreement.
- Except as provided for in Section 3 below, within fifteen (15) days of (1) the registration of a Registered Name sponsored by Registrar, (2) the transfer of the sponsorship of a Registered Name to Registrar, or (3) any change in the Registered Name Holder with respect to any Registered Name sponsored by Registrar, Registrar will, with respect to both Whois information and the corresponding customer account holder contact information related to such Registered Name: a. Validate the presence of data for all fields required under Subsection 3.3.1 of the Agreement in a proper format for the applicable country or territory. b. Validate that all email addresses are in the proper format according to RFC 5322 (or its successors). c. Validate that telephone numbers are in the proper format according to the ITU-T E.164 notation for international telephone numbers (or its equivalents or successors). d. Validate that postal addresses are in a proper format for the applicable country or territory as defined in UPU Postal addressing format templates, the S42 address templates (as they maybe updated) or other standard formats. e. Validate that all postal address fields are consistent across fields (for example: street exists in city, city exists in state/province, city matches postal code) where such information is technically and commercially feasible for the applicable country or territory. f. Verify: i. the email address of the Registered Name Holder (and, if different, the Account Holder) by sending an email requiring an affirmative response through a tool-based authentication method such as providing a unique code that must be returned in a manner designated by the Registrar, or ii.the telephone number of the Registered Name Holder (and, if different, the Account Holder) by either (A) calling or sending an SMS to the Registered Name Holder’s telephone number providing a unique code that must be returned in a manner designated by the Registrar, or (B) calling the Registered Name Holder’s telephone number and requiring the Registered Name Holder to provide a unique code that was sent to the
Registered Name Holder via web, email or postal mail. In either case, if Registrar does not receive an affirmative response from the Registered Name Holder, Registrarshall either verify the applicable contact information manually or suspend the registration, until such time as Registrar has verified the applicable contact information. If Registrar does not receive an affirmative response from the Account Holder), Registrarshall verify the applicable contact information manually, but is not required to suspend any registration. 2. Except as provided in Section 3 below, within fifteen (15) calendar days after receiving any changes to contact information in Whois or the corresponding customer account contact information related to any Registered Name sponsored by Registrar (whether or not Registrar was previously required to perform the validation and verification requirements set forth in this Specification in respect of such Registered Name), Registrar will validate and, to the extent required by Section 1, verify the changed fields in the manner specified in Section 1 above. If Registrar does not receive an affirmative response from the Registered Name Holder providing the required verification, Registrarshall either verify the applicable contact information manually or suspend the registration, until such time as Registrar has verified the applicable contact information. If Registrar does not receive an affirmative response from the Account Holder, Registrar shall verify the applicable contact information manually, but is not required to suspend any registration. 3. Except asset forth in paragraph 4 below, Registrar is not required to perform the above validation and verification procedures in Section 1(a) through 1(f) above, if Registrar has already successfully completed the validation and verification procedures on the identical contact information and is not in possession of facts or knowledge of circumstances that suggest that the information is no longer valid. 4. If Registrar has any information suggesting that the contact information specified in Section 1(a) through 1(f) above is incorrect (such as Registrar receiving a bounced email notification or non-delivery notification message in connection with compliance with ICANN’s Whois Data Reminder Policy or otherwise) for any Registered Name sponsored by Registrar (whether or not Registrar was previously required to perform the validation and verification requirements set forth in this Specification in respect of such Registered Name), Registrar must verify or re-verify, as applicable, the email address(es) as described in Section 1.f (for example by requiring an affirmative response to a Whois Data Reminder Policy notice). If, within fifteen (15) calendar days after receiving any such information, Registrar does not receive an affirmative response from the Registered Name Holder providing the required verification, Registrarshall either verify the applicable contact information manually or suspend the registration, until such time as Registrar has verified the applicable contact information. If, within fifteen (15) calendar days after receiving any such information, Registrar does not receive an affirmative response from the customer paying for the Registered Name, if applicable, providing the required verification, Registrarshall verify the applicable
contact information manually, but is not required to suspend any registration. 5. Upon the occurrence of a Registered Name Holder's willful provision of inaccurate or unreliable WHOIS information, its willful failure promptly to update information provided to Registrar, or its failure to respond for over fifteen (15) calendar days to inquiries by Registrar concerning the accuracy of contact details associated with the Registered Name Holder's registration, Registrarshall either terminate or suspend the Registered Name Holder’s Registered Name or place such registration on clientHold and clientTransferProhibited, until such time as Registrar has validated the information provided by the Registered Name Holder. 6. The terms and conditions of this Specificationshall be reviewed by ICANN in consultation with the Registrar Stakeholder Group on or about the first anniversary of the date that the form of this Agreement is first executed by a registrar. 7. Nothing within this Specificationshall be deemed to require Registrar to perform verification or validation of any customer account holder information where the customer account holder does not have any Registered Names under sponsorship of Registrar.
REGISTRATION DATA DIRECTORY SERVICE (WHOIS) SPECIFICATION
- Registration Data Directory Services. Until ICANN requires a different protocol, Registrar will operate a WHOIS service available via port 43 in accordance with RFC 3912, and a web-based Directory Service providing free public query-based access to at least the elements set forth in Section 3.3.1.1 through 3.3.1.8 of the Registrar Accreditation Agreement in the format set forth in Section 1.4 of this Specification. ICANN reserves the right to specify alternative formats and protocols, and upon such specification, the Registrarwill implement such alternative specification as soon as reasonably practicable. Following the publication by the IETF of a Proposed Standard, Draft Standard or Internet Standard and any revisions thereto (as specified in RFC 2026) relating to the web-based directory service as specified in the IETF Web Extensible Internet Registration Data Service working group, Registrarshall implement the directory service specified in any such standard (or any revision thereto) no later than 135 days after such implementation is requested by ICANN. Registrar shall implement internationalized registration data publication guidelines according to the specification published by ICANN following the work of the ICANN Internationalized Registration Data Working Group (IRD-WG) and its subsequent efforts, no later than 135 days after it is approved by the ICANN Board.
1.1. The format of responses shall follow a semi-free text format outline below, followed by ablank line and a legal disclaimer specifying the rights of Registrar, and of the user querying the database. 1.2. Each data objectshall be represented as a set of key/value pairs, with lines beginning with keys, followed by a colon and a space as delimiters, followed by the value. 1.3. For fields where more than one value exists, multiple numbered key/value pairs with the same keyshall be allowed (for example to list multiple name servers). The first key/value pair after a blank line should be considered the start of a new record, and should be considered as identifying that record, and is used to group data, such as hostnames and IP addresses, or a domain name and registrant information, together. 1.4.Domain Name Data: 1.4.1.

1.5. The format of the following data fields: domain status, individual and organizational names, address, street, city, state/province, postal code, country, telephone and fax numbers, email addresses, date and times must conform to the mappings specified in EPP RFCs 5730-5734 (or its successors),and IPv6 addresses format should conform to RFC 5952 (or its successor), so that the display of this information (or values returned in WHOIS responses) can be uniformly processed and understood. 2. Service Level Agreement for Registration Data Directory Services (RDDS) 2.1 Definitions
9 Maybe left blank if not available from Registry. 10 All associated nameservers must be listed.
o IP address. Refers to IPv4 or IPv6 addresses without making any distinction between the two. When there is need to make a distinction, IPv4 or IPv6 is used. o Probes. Network hosts used to perform tests (see below) that are located at various global locations. o RDDS. Registration Data Directory Services refers to the collective of WHOIS and Web based WHOIS services. o RTT. Round-Trip Time or RTT refers to the time measured from the sending of the first bit of the first packet of the sequence of packets needed to make a request until the reception of the last bit of the last packet of the sequence needed to receive the response. If the client does not receive the whole sequence of packets needed to consider the response as received, the request will be considered unanswered. o SLR. Service Level Requirement is the level of service expected for a certain parameter being measured in a Service Level Agreement (SLA). 2.2 Service Level Agreement Matrix
Parameter SLR (monthly basis)RDDS RDDS availability less than or equal to 864 min of downtime RDDS query RTT less than or equal to 4000 ms, for at least 95% of the queries RDDS update time less than or equal to 60 min, for at least 95% of the probes
Registrar is encouraged to do maintenance for the different services at the times and dates of statistically lower traffic for each service. Since substantial downtime is already incorporated in the availability metric, planned outages or similar; any downtime, be it for maintenance or due to system failures, will be noted simply as downtime and counted for SLA purposes. 2.2.1 RDDS availability. Refers to the ability of all the RDDS services for the Registrar to respond to queries from an Internet user with appropriate data from the relevant registrar system. If 51% or more of the RDDS testing probes see any of the RDDS services as unavailable during a given time, the RDDS will be considered unavailable. 2.2.2 WHOIS query RTT. Refers tothe RTT of the sequence of packets from the start of the TCP connection to its end, including the reception of the WHOIS response. If the RTT is 5-times or more the corresponding SLR, the RTTwill be considered undefined. 2.2.3 Web-based-WHOIS query RTT. Refers tothe RTT of the sequence of packets from the start of the TCP connection to its end, including the
reception of the HTTP response for only one HTTP request. If Registrar implements a multiple-step process to get to the information, only the last stepshall be measured. If the RTT is 5-times or more the corresponding SLR, the RTT will be considered undefined. 2.2.4 RDDS query RTT. Refers to the collective of “WHOIS query RTT” and “Web-based- WHOIS query RTT”. 2.2.5 RDDS update time. Refers to the time measured from the receipt of an EPP confirmation to a transform command on a domain name, host or contact, up until the servers of the RDDS services reflect the changes made. 2.2.6 RDDS test. Means one query sent to a particular “ IP address” of one of the servers of one of the RDDS services. Queries shall be about existing objects in the registrar system and the responses must contain the corresponding information otherwise the query will be considered unanswered. Queries with an RTT 5 times higher than the corresponding SLR will be considered as unanswered. The possible results to an RDDS test are: anumber in milliseconds corresponding to the RTT orundefined/unanswered. 2.2.7 Measuring RDDS parameters. Every 5 minutes, RDDS probes will select one IP address from all the public-DNS registered “IP addresses” of the servers for each RDDS service of the Registrar being monitored and make an “RDDS test” to each one. If an “RDDS test” result is undefined/unanswered, the corresponding RDDS service will be considered as unavailable from that probe until it is time to make a new test. 2.2.8 Collating the results from RDDS probes. The minimum number of active testing probes to consider a measurement valid is 10 at any given measurement period, otherwise the measurements will be discarded and will be considered inconclusive; during this situation no fault will be flagged against the SLRs. 2.2.9 Placement of RDDS probes. Probes for measuring RDDS parameters shall be placed inside the networks with the most users across the different geographic regions; care shall betaken not to deploy probes behind high propagation-delay links, such as satellite links. 2.3 Covenants of Performance Measurement Registrarshall not interfere with measurement Probes, including any form of preferential treatment of the requests for the monitored services. Registrarshall respond to the measurement tests described in this Specification as it would do with any other request from Internet users (for RDDS).
CONSENSUS POLICIES AND TEMPORARY POLICIES SPECIFICATION
- Consensus Policies.
1.1. “Consensus Policies” are those policies established (1) pursuant to the procedure set forth in ICANN's Bylaws and due process, and (2) covering those topics listed in Section 1.2 of this document. The Consensus Policy development process and procedure set forth in ICANN's Bylaws maybe revised from time to time in accordance with the process set forth therein. 1.2. Consensus Policies and the procedures by which they are developed shall be designed to produce, to the extent possible, a consensus of Internet stakeholders, including registrars. Consensus Policies shall relate to one or more of the following: 1.2.1. issues for which uniform or coordinated resolution is reasonably necessary to facilitate interoperability, security and/or stability of the Internet, Registrar Services, Registry Services, or the Domain Name System (“DNS”); 1.2.2. functional and performance specifications for the provision of Registrar Services; 1.2.3. registrar policies reasonably necessary to implement Consensus Policies relating to agTLD registry; 1.2.4. resolution of disputes regarding the registration of domain names (as opposed to the use of such domain names, but including where such policies take into account use of the domain names); or 1.2.5. restrictions on cross-ownership of registry operators and registrars or Resellers and regulations and restrictions with respect to registrar and registry operations and the use of registry and registrar data in the event that a registry operator and a registrar or Reseller are affiliated. 1.3. Such categories of issues referred to in Section 1.2 shall include, withoutlimitation: 1.3.1. principles for allocation of registered names in a TLD (e.g., first-come/first-served, timely renewal, holding period after expiration); 1.3.2. prohibitions on warehousing of or speculation in domain names by registries or registrars; 1.3.3. reservation of registered names in a TLD that may not be registered initially or that may not be renewed due to reasons reasonably related to (i) avoidance of confusion among or misleading of users, (ii) intellectual property, or (iii) the technical management of the DNS or the Internet (e.g., establishment of reservations of names from registration); 1.3.4. maintenance of and access to accurate and up-to-date information concerning Registered Names and nameservers; 1.3.5. procedures to avoid disruptions of domain name registrations due to suspension or termination of operations by a registry operator or a registrar, including procedures for allocation of responsibility among continuing registrars of the Registered Names sponsored in a TLD by a registrar losing accreditation; and 1.3.6. the transfer of registration data upon a change in registrar sponsoring one or more Registered Names.
1.4. In addition to the other limitations on Consensus Policies, they shall not: 1.4.1. prescribe or limit the price of Registrar Services; 1.4.2. modify the limitations on Temporary Policies (defined below) or Consensus Policies; 1.4.3. modify the provisions in the Registrar Accreditation Agreement regarding terms or conditions for the renewal, termination or amendment of the Registrar Accreditation Agreement or fees paid by Registrar to ICANN; or 1.4.4. modify ICANN’s obligations to not apply standards, policies, procedures or practices arbitrarily, unjustifiably, or inequitably and to not single out Registrar for disparate treatment unless justified by substantial and reasonable cause, and exercise its responsibilities in an open and transparent manner. 2. Temporary Policies. Registrarshall comply with and implement all specifications or policies established by the ICANN Board of Directors (the “Board”) on a temporary basis, if adopted by the Board by a vote of at least two-thirds of its members, so long as the Board reasonably determines that such modifications or amendments are justified and that immediate temporary establishment of a specification or policy on the subject is necessary to maintain the stability or security of Registrar Services, Registry Services or the DNS or the Internet ("Temporary Policies"). 2.1. Such proposed specification or policy shall be as narrowly tailored as feasible to achieve those objectives. In establishing any Temporary Policy, the Boardshall state the period of time for which the Temporary Policy is adopted and shall immediately implement the Consensus Policy development process set forth in ICANN's Bylaws. 2.1.1. ICANN shall also issue an advisory statement containing a detailed explanation of its reasons for adopting the Temporary Policy and why the Board believes such Temporary Policy should receive the consensus support of Internet stakeholders. 2.1.2. If the period of time for which the Temporary Policy is adopted exceeds 90 days, the Board shall reaffirm its temporary adoption every 90 days for a total period not to exceed one year,in order to maintain such Temporary Policy in effect until such time as it becomes a Consensus Policy. If the one year period expires or, if during such one year period, the Temporary Policy does not become a Consensus Policy and is not reaffirmed by the Board, Registrarshall no longer be required to comply with or implement such Temporary Policy.
- Notice and Conflicts. Registrarshall be afforded a reasonable period of time following notice of the establishment of a Consensus Policy or Temporary Policy in which to comply with such policy or specification, taking into account any urgency involved. In the event of a conflict between Registrar Services and Consensus Policies or any Temporary Policy, the Consensus Polices or Temporary Policy shall control, but only with respect to subject matter in conflict. For the avoidance of doubt, Consensus Policies that meet the requirements of this Specification may supplement or supersede provisions of the agreements between Registrar and ICANN, but only to the extent that such Consensus Policies relate to the matters set forth in Section 1.2 and
1.3 of this Specification.

6.4如果ICANN董事会合理地确定被拒绝修正案属于共识政策和临时政策规范第1.2 节规定的主题类别,ICANN董事会可以通过通用名称支持机构( “GNSO ”)通过决 议(通过该决议的日期称为“决议采纳日期 ”),要求该决议发布报告(ICANN章 程中定义)。GNSO根据所要求的发布报告进行的政策制定过程在此被称为“PDP ” 。如果这样的PDP结果最终报告支持GNSO绝对多数(定义在ICANN的章程), (i)建 议采用拒绝的修正案作为共识政策或(ii)建议反对采用拒绝修正案作为共识政策 ,,在上述(i),董事会采用这样的共识政策,注册官应遵守其根据本协议第4条的 义务。在任何一种情况下,ICANN都将放弃被拒绝的修正案,它对本协议的条款和 条件没有任何影响。尽管上述规定的6.4节,ICANN董事会不得启动PDP对拒绝修正 案,如果在任何时候在十二(12)个月之前提交的拒绝修正案注册批准根据第6.3 节,拒绝修正案的主题终止或被放弃或终止PDP的主体。
6.5如果(i)被拒绝的修正案不属于共识政策和临时政策规范第1.2节规定的主题类 别,(ii)被拒绝修正案的主题是在提交第6节之前的十二(12)个月内的任何时 候。3、结论的主题或放弃或终止PDP没有导致GNSO绝对多数建议,或(iii)PDP不导致最终报告支持GNSO绝对多数(a)建议采用拒绝修正案共识政策或(b)建议反 对采用拒绝修正案共识政策(或等PDP已被放弃或终止的任何原因),然后,在任 何这种情况下,这种被拒绝的修正案仍可以下列方式获得通过并生效。为了通过 被拒绝的修正案,必须满足以下要求:
6.5.1被拒绝的修正案的主题必须在ICANN的任务范围内,并与其核心价 值观的平衡应用相一致(如ICANN的章程所述);
6.5.2拒绝修正案必须合理的实质性和令人信服的原因在公共利益,必须 可能促进这样的利益,考虑竞争公共和私人利益可能受到拒绝修正案,并 且必须勉强定制,没有比合理必要的解决这样的实质性和令人信服的原因 在公共利益;
6.5.3程度拒绝修正案禁止或要求行为或活动,征收物质成本适用的注册 , 和/或大大减少公众访问域名服务,拒绝修正案必须最少限制手段合理 可以解决公共利益的实质性和令人信服的原因;
6.5.4ICANN董事会必须提交被拒绝修正案,以及关于被拒绝修正案符合上 述(i)至(iii)款规定要求的理由的书面解释,供不少于三十条的公众评 论(30) 日历日;
6.5.5这样的公众评论期后,ICANN董事会必须(i)参与协商(或直接ICANN 管理参与协商)与工作组,主题专家,GNSO的成员,相关咨询委员会和其 他相关利益相关者对这样的拒绝修正案一段不少于六十(60) 日历日;(ii)协商后,以投票的工作组和公众的意见),并考虑 影响ICANN的任何政策,包括ICANN的利益冲突政策( “董事会修正案 ”)
。根据第6.6条,此类董事会修正案应视为批准修正案,并在ICANN提供的六十(60 ) 个日历日内生效(生效日期应视为本协议项下的修正案生效日期)。尽管有上 述规定,董事会修正案不得修改ICANN根据本协议收取的注册员费用,也不得修改 本第6条。
6.6尽管有第6.5节的规定,如果在ICANN董事会批准后的三十(30)个日历日的董 事会修正案期间,工作组代表适用注册人向ICANN董事会提交替代董事会修正案 ( “替代修正案 ”),则董事会修正案不应被视为批准修正案:
6.6.1阐述了工作组提出的修改本协议以代替董事会修正案的精确文本;
6.6.2陈述了由ICANN董事会确定的作为董事会修正案的理由的实质性和令 人信服的公共利益理由;
6.6.3相比董事会修正案是: (a)更狭窄地解决这样的实质性和令人信服的 原因在公共利益,和(b)在某种程度上替代修正案禁止或要求行为或活动, 强加材料成本影响注册官,或实质性减少访问域名服务,是一个较严格的手段来解决实质性和引人注目的原因在公共利益。不符合第6.6.1至6.6款要求的任何拟议修正案。3.在前一句中,不得被视为本协 议项下的替代修正案,因此不得取代或延迟董事会修正案的效力。如果在向ICANN董事会提交替代修正案后,替代修正案获得注册官的批准,替代修正案将 取代董事会修正案,并应被视为本协议下批准的修正案(并应有效并被视为对本 协议的修改ICANN向注册官提供批准该替代修订的通知后的六十(60)个日历日内,该生效日 期应视为本协议项下的修订生效日期),除非在工作组通知ICANN董事会批准该替 代修订之日起的六十(60)个日历日内(在此期间ICANN应就替代修订与工作组接 触),ICANN董事会通过至少三分之二的ICANN董事会成员的赞成票投票,考虑到 任何ICANN政策,包括ICANN的利益冲突政策,拒绝替代修正案。如果(A)替代修正 案在提交适用注册机构的替代修正案后三十(30)天内未获得注册机构批准(工 作组应通知ICANN),或(B)ICANN董事会通过三分之二投票拒绝替代修正案,董事 会修正案(而非替代修正案)应在ICANN提供注册机构通知日期后六十(60)个日 历日(生效日期应视为本协议项下的修正案生效日期)生效。如果ICANN董事会拒 绝了一个替代修正案,董事会应发布一份书面理由,阐述其对第6.6.1至6.6节中 所列标准的分析。3.ICANN董事会拒绝本协议项下的替代修正案的能力并不免除董 事会确保任何董事会修正案符合第6.5.1至第6.5.5条中规定的标准的义务。
6.7如果注册官认为经批准的修正案不符合本第6条规定的实质性要求,或违反本 第6条的任何程序规定,注册官可根据第5.8条规定的争议解决条款对该特别修正 案的通过提出质疑,但该仲裁应由三人仲裁小组进行。任何此类质疑必须在ICANN 向已批准修正案的注册人发出通知后的六十(60)个日历日内提出,ICANN可将注 册人(包括注册人)提出的所有质疑合并为单一程序。经批准的修正案将被视为 在争议解决过程的未决期间没有修改本协议。
6.8注册官可在ICANN发出经批准的修正案通知后的三十(30)个日历日内,以书 面形式向ICANN申请豁免经批准的修正案(每次由注册官提出的“豁免申请 ”)。
6.8.1每个豁免请求都将阐明该请求的基础,并为豁免于经批准的修正案提 供详细的支持。豁免申请还可包括对该等注册官提出的已批准修正案的任 何替代方案或变更的详细描述和支持。
6.8.2只有在注册官明确和令人信服的证明,遵守已批准的修正案与适用 法律相冲突,或会对注册官的长期财务状况或经营结果产生重大不利影响 时,才可批准豁免申请。如果ICANN根据其合理的酌情权确定,批准该等 豁免请求将对注册人造成重大损害,或导致拒绝对注册人提供直接利益, 则不会批准任何豁免请求。
6.8.3在ICANN收到豁免请求后九十(90) 日历日内,ICANN应批准(批准可 能具有条件或包括批准修正案的替代或变更)或书面拒绝豁免请求,在此 期间批准的修正案不会修改本协议。
6.8.4如果豁免请求经ICANN批准,则批准的修改将不会修改本协议;但ICANN要求的批准修改的任何条件、替代或变更应有效,且在适用范围内, 将在修改生效日期之前对本协议进行修改。如果ICANN拒绝该豁免请求,则 批准的修正案将在修正案生效日期修改本协议(或者如果该日期已通过,该批准的修正案应视为立即生效),但注册官可在收到ICANN决定后三十 ( 30)个日历日内对ICANN根据第5.8条规定的争议解决程序拒绝豁免请求的 决定提出上诉。
6.8.5经批准的修改将被视为在争议解决过程的未决期间没有修改本协议。 .8为免生疑问,只有注册官根据本第6条经ICANN批准或根据第5条通过的仲 裁决定提交的豁免申请才能免除注册官任何已批准的修订,而向任何其他 适用注册官提交的豁免申请(通过ICANN或仲裁)不得具有本协议的效力或 免除注册官任何已批准的修订。
6.9除第4节、第5.3节、第6节、第7.4节以及本协议和规范另有规定外,本协议 或本协议的书面规定,且本第6节或第7节均无约束力。4应限制ICANN和注册商对 双方单独协商的本协议进行双边修改和修改。对本协议任何条款的放弃均不具有 约束力,除非由放弃遵守该条款的一方签署的书面文件证明。不放弃本协议的任 何条款或未能放弃执行本协议的任何规定应被视为或构成对本协议任何其他条款的放弃,除非另有 明确规定,任何此类放弃均不构成继续放弃。为免生疑问,本节第6节或第7节中 无任何内容。4应被视为限制注册官遵守第4条的义务。
6.10尽管本第6条有任何相反的规定, (a)如果注册官提供证据证明ICANN合理满意 批准的修正案将大大增加提供注册服务的成本,那么ICANN将允许一百八十(180 ) 日历天的批准修正案对注册官生效,如果注册官根据第5.4条向ICANN提供不可 撤销的终止通知, (b)根据第6条通过的任何批准修正案将对注册官生效。

最近更新的WHOIS数据库: 2009-05-29T20:15:00Z <<<
1.5.以下数据字段的格式:域状态、个人和组织名称、地址、街道、城市、
州/省、邮政编码、国家、电话和传真号码、电子邮件地址、 日期和时间必须符合EPPRFC5730-5734(或其后继者)中指定的映射,IPv6地址格式 应符合RFC5952(或其后继者),以便这些信息(或WHOIS响应中返回的值 ) 可以统一处理和理解。
2.注册数据目录服务的服务级别协议(RDDS)
9如果不能从注册表中获得此信息,则可以留空。
10必须列出所有关联的名称服务器。
o IP地址。指IPv4或IPv6地址,但两者之间没有任何区别。当需要进行区分 时,将使用IPv4或IPv6。
o探测器。用于执行位于不同全局位置的测试(见下文)的网络主机。
o RDDS.注册数据目录服务是指WHOIS和基于Web的WHOIS服务的集合。
o RTT.往返时间或RTT是指从发送发出请求所需的分组序列的第一分组的第一 比特到接收接收响应所需的序列的最后一个比特的时间。如果客户端没有 接收到考虑所收到的响应所需的整个数据包序列,则该请求将被视为未被 响应。
o SLR.服务级别要求是服务级别协议(SLA)中测量的某个参数的服务级别。
2.2服务水平协议矩阵
睡眠呼吸障碍 RDDS可用 小于或等于864 min的停机时 间 RDDS查询RTT 小于或等于4000 ms,至少有95%的 查询 RDDS更新 时间 小于或等于60 min,至少为95%的 探针
鼓励注册官在每项服务的流量较低的时间和日期为不同的服务进行维修。由于大 量停机已经纳入可用性指标、计划停机或类似指标;任何停机时间,无论是维护 或系统故障,都将被简单地记录为停机时间,并计入SLA目的。
2.2.1 RDDS可用性。指所有RDDS服务,注册员可以使用相关注册员系统的适当数 据响应互联网用户的查询。如果51%或更多的RDDS测试探测器在给定的时 间内认为任何一个RDDS服务都不可用,则该RDDS将被视为不可用。
2.2.2 WHOIS查询RTT。是指从TCP连接开始到其结束的数据包序列的RTT,包括接 收WHOIS响应。如果RTT是相应单反的5倍或以上,则RTT将被视为未定义。
2.2.3基于Web的-WHOIS查询RTT。是指从TCP连接开始到其结束的数据包序列的RTT,包括仅接收到一个HTTP请求的HTTP响应。如果注册官实施多步骤获取信息,只 测量最后一步。如果RTT是相应单反的5倍或以上,则RTT将被视为未定义。
2.2.4 RDDS查询RTT。是指“WHOIS查询RTT ”和“基于web的WHOIS查询 RTT ”的集合。
2.2.5 RDDS更新时间。指从收到EPP确认到域名、主机或联系人的转换命令的时间 , 直到RDDS服务的服务器反映所做的更改。
2.2.6 RDDS测试。表示发送到一个RDDS服务的服务器的特定“IP地址 ”的一个查 询。查询应在注册商系统中关于现有的对象,并且响应必须包含相应的信 息,否则查询将被视为未应答。RTT比相应的单反高5倍的查询将被视为未 应答。RDDS测试的可能结果是:以毫秒对应的RTT为单位的数字或未定义/ 未回答的数字。
2.2.7测量RDDS参数。每5分钟,RDDS探测将从所有注册商的每个RDDS服务服务器 的dns注册“IP地址 ”中选择一个IP地址,并对每个服务器进行“RDDS测试 ”。如果“RDDS测试 ”结果未定义/未回答,相应的RDDS服务将被视为从该 探测不可用,直到需要进行新的测试。
2.2.8整理来自RDDS探针的结果。在任何给定的测量周期内,认为测量有效的最小 数量为10,否则测量将被丢弃并被认为不确定;在这种情况下,单反不会 标记故障。
2.2.9放置RDDS探针。测量RDDS参数的探头应放置在不同地理区域内用户最多的 网络内;应注意不要在高传播延迟链路后部署探头,如卫星链路。
2.3绩效测量的契约
注册官不得干涉测量探头,包括对被监控服务请求的任何形式的优惠待遇。注册 官应像响应互联网用户(对于RDDS)的任何其他要求一样,响应本规范中所述的 测量测试。
