AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.6.1 If the ICANN Board of Directors determines that an amendment to this Agreement (including to the Specifications referred to herein, unless suchSpecifications expressly do not permit amendment thereto) and all other registrar agreements between ICANN and the Applicable Registrars (the “ApplicableRegistrar Agreements”) is desirable (each, a “Special Amendment”), ICANN mayadopt a Special Amendment pursuant to the requirements of and process set forth in this Section 6; provided that a Special Amendment may not be a RestrictedAmendment.6.2 Prior to submitting a Special Amendment for Registrar Approval, ICANN shall first consult in good faith with the Working Group regarding the form and substance of such Special Amendment. The duration of such consultationshall be reasonablydetermined by ICANN based on the substance of the Special Amendment. Following such consultation, ICANN may propose the adoption of a Special Amendment bypublicly posting such amendment on its website for no less than thirty (30) calendar days (the “Posting Period”) and providing notice of such proposed amendment tothe Applicable Registrars in accordance with Section 7.6. 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 publiccomment, but must address the subject matter of the Special Amendment posted for public comment, as modified to reflect and/or address input from the WorkingGroup and public comments), ICANN shall provide notice of, and submit, suchSpecial 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 RegistrarApproval, such Special Amendmentshall be deemed approved (an “ApprovedAmendment”) by the Applicable Registrars, and shall be effective and deemed anamendment 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 toRegistrar (the “Amendment Effective Date”). In the event that a Special Amendment does not receive Registrar Approval, the Special Amendmentshall be deemed notapproved 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 RejectedAmendment falls within the subject matter categories set forth in Section 1.2 of the Consensus Policies and Temporary Policies Specification, the ICANN Board ofDirectors 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 policydevelopment 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 Reportsupported 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, Registrarshallcomply 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 periodpreceding 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 PoliciesSpecification , (ii) the subject matter of a Rejected Amendment was, at anytime in the twelve (12) month period preceding the submission of such RejectedAmendment for Registrar Approval pursuant to Section 6.3, the subject of aconcluded 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 Reportsupported by a GNSO Supermajority that either (a) recommends adoption of the Rejected Amendment as Consensus Policy or (b) recommends against adoption ofthe 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 followingrequirements 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 andCompelling Reason in the Public Interest, must be likely to promote suchinterest, taking into account competing public and private interests that arelikely to be affected by the Rejected Amendment, and must be narrowly tailored and no broader than reasonably necessary to address suchSubstantial 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/ormaterially 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; and6.5.5 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 theRejected Amendment (which maybe in a form different than submitted forRegistrar Approval, but must address the subject matter of the RejectedAmendment, as modified to reflect and/or address input from the WorkingGroup 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, includingICANN’s Conflict of Interest Policy (a “Board Amendment”).Such Board Amendmentshall, subject to Section 6.6, be deemed an ApprovedAmendment, 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 bedeemed 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 ICANNBoard 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 PublicInterest identified by the ICANN Board of Directors as the justification for the Board Amendment; and6.6.3 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 conductoractivities, 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 anAlternative Amendment hereunder and therefore shall not supersede or delay the effectiveness of the Board Amendment. If, following the submission of theAlternative Amendment to the ICANN Board of Directors, the AlternativeAmendment receives Registrar Approval, the Alternative Amendmentshallsupersede 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 ICANNBoard of Directors of Registrar Approval of such Alternative Amendment (duringwhich time ICANN shall engage with the Working Group with respect to theAlternative 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 dateshall deemed the Amendment Effective Date hereunder). If the ICANN Board ofDirectors rejects an Alternative Amendment, the boardshall publish a writtenrationale 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 AlternativeAmendment 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 incontravention of any of the procedural provisions of this Section 6,Registrar may challenge the adoption of such Special Amendment pursuant to the disputeresolution provisions set forth in Section 5.8, except that such arbitration shall beconducted by a three-person arbitration panel. Any such challenge must be broughtwithin sixty (60) calendar days following the date ICANN provided notice toRegistrar 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 thependency 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 ICANNprovided 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 ApprovedAmendment conflicts with applicable laws or would have a material adverse effect on the long-term financial condition or results of operations ofRegistrar. No Exemption Request will be granted if ICANN determines, in its reasonable discretion, that granting such Exemption Request would bematerially 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 denythe 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 ApprovedAmendment 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 byICANN, 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 daysfollowing receipt of ICANN’s determination, appeal ICANN’s decision to deny the Exemption Request pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures setforth 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. Foravoidance of doubt, only Exemption Requests submitted by Registrar that are approved by ICANN pursuant to this Article 6 or through an arbitrationdecision pursuant to Section 5.8 shall exempt Registrar from any Approved Amendment, and no Exemption Request granted to any other ApplicableRegistrar (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, noamendment, supplement or modification of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be binding unless executed in writing by both parties, and nothing in thisSection 6 or Section 7.4 shall restrict ICANN and Registrar from entering intobilateral amendments and modifications to this Agreement negotiated solelybetween the two parties. No waiver of any provision of this Agreementshall bebinding 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 thisSection 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 ApprovedAmendment would materially increase the cost of providing Registrar Services, then ICANN will allow up to one-hundred eighty (180) calendar days for the ApprovedAmendment 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.

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 Registrarhas already successfully completed the validation and verification procedures on the identical contact information and is not in possession of facts or knowledge ofcircumstances that suggest that the information is no longer valid. If Registrar has any information suggesting that the contact information specified inSection 1(a) through 1(f) above is incorrect (such as Registrar receiving a bouncedemail notification or non-delivery notification message in connection with compliance with ICANN’s Whois Data Reminder Policy or otherwise) for any Registered Namesponsored 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 emailaddress(es) as described in Section 1.f (for example by requiring an affirmativeresponse 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, Registrarshalleither 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 notreceive 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. Upon the occurrence of a Registered Name Holder's willful provision of inaccurate orunreliable WHOIS information, its willful failure promptly to update informationprovided to Registrar, or its failure to respond for over fifteen (15) calendar days toinquiries by Registrar concerning the accuracy of contact details associated with theRegistered Name Holder's registration, Registrarshall either terminate or suspend the Registered Name Holder’s Registered Name or place such registration on clientHoldand clientTransferProhibited, until such time as Registrar has validated the information provided by the Registered Name Holder. The terms and conditions of this Specificationshall be reviewed by ICANN inconsultation 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. Nothing within this Specificationshall be deemed to require Registrar to performverification or validation of any customer account holder information where thecustomer 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 byICANN 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) theregistration of a Registered Name sponsored by Registrar, (2) the transfer of thesponsorship of a Registered Name to Registrar, or (3) any change in the RegisteredName 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.

Nothing within this Specificationshall be deemed to require Registrar to performverification or validation of any customer account holder information where thecustomer 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 differentprotocol, Registrar will operate a WHOIS service available via port 43 inaccordance with RFC 3912, and a web-based Directory Service providing freepublic query-based access to at least the elements set forth in Section 3.3.1.1through 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 specifyalternative 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 ExtensibleInternet Registration Data Service working group, Registrarshall implement the directory service specified in any such standard (or any revision thereto) nolater than 135 days after such implementation is requested by ICANN. Registrar shall implement internationalized registration data publication guidelinesaccording 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.

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 isused.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 sequenceneeded to receive the response. If the client does not receive the wholesequence 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 downtimeRDDS query RTT less than or equal to 4000 ms, for at least 95% of the queriesRDDS 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 timesand dates of statistically lower traffic for each service. Since substantial downtime is already incorporated in the availability metric, planned outages or similar; anydowntime, 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 theRegistrar to respond to queries from an Internet user with appropriate data from the relevant registrar system. If 51% or more of the RDDS testingprobes 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 Registrarimplements a multiple-step process to get to the information, only the laststepshall 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 theservers of one of the RDDS services. Queries shall be about existing objects in the registrar system and the responses must contain the correspondinginformation otherwise the query will be considered unanswered. Querieswith an RTT 5 times higher than the corresponding SLR will be considered as unanswered. The possible results to an RDDS test are: anumber inmilliseconds corresponding to the RTT orundefined/unanswered.2.2.7 Measuring RDDS parameters. Every 5 minutes, RDDS probes will selectone IP address from all the public-DNS registered “IP addresses” of theservers 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 activetesting probes to consider a measurement valid is 10 at any givenmeasurement period, otherwise the measurements will be discarded and will be considered inconclusive; during this situation no fault will be flaggedagainst 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 differentgeographic regions; care shall betaken not to deploy probes behind high propagation-delay links, such as satellite links.2.3 Covenants of Performance MeasurementRegistrarshall not interfere with measurement Probes, including any form ofpreferential treatment of the requests for the monitored services. Registrarshallrespond 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 thisdocument. 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 tofacilitate 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 toagTLD 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); or1.2.5. restrictions on cross-ownership of registry operators and registrars or Resellers and regulations and restrictions with respect to registrar and registry operations andthe 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 orregistrars;1.3.3. reservation of registered names in a TLD that may not be registered initially or thatmay not be renewed due to reasons reasonably related to (i) avoidance of confusion among or misleading of users, (ii) intellectual property, or (iii) the technicalmanagement 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 concerningRegistered 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; and1.3.6. 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; or1.4.4. 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 itsresponsibilities in an open and transparent manner. 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 reasonablydetermines 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 ("TemporaryPolicies").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 theConsensus 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 suchTemporary 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 toexceed 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 notreaffirmed 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 suchpolicy or specification, taking into account any urgency involved. In the event of a conflictbetween Registrar Services and Consensus Policies or any Temporary Policy, the ConsensusPolices 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 and1.3 of this Specification.

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。 7.杂项规定。 7.1 具体的 表演虽然本协议有效，但任何一方均可按照第5.8条规定的方式寻求 具体履行本协议的任何条款，但要求履行该等义务的一方并非重大违反其义务。 7.2 处理 通过 赋值名称与数字互联网公司 的 注册商提供 数据。在收到注册官提供 的任何个人资料前，ICANN须以书面形式向注册官指明ICANN打算使用该等个人资 料的目的和条件。ICANN可不时向注册官提供有关该等目的和条件的修订规范，该 规范应在向注册官提供后不少于三十（30）天内生效。ICANN不得将注册官提供的 个人资料用于与提供个人资料时有效的规范不一致的目的或条件。ICANN应采取合理措施，避免第三方使用与规范不一致的个人数据。 7.3转让； 变更 的 所有权 或 经营7.3.1本7.3节规定除外。1、任何一方只有在另一方事先书面同意后方可转 让或转让本协议，不得无理拒绝。如果ICANN未能在收到转让请求通知后三 十（30）个日历日内明确提供或拒绝同意本协议的任何请求转让（ “转让请 求 ”）（或者，如果ICANN要求注册官提供有关审查该请求的额外信息，在 收到有关该请求的所有书面信息后的六十（60）个日历日内），ICANN应被 视为同意该请求的转让。尽管有上述规定， (i)经ICANN董事会批准，ICANN 可未经注册官同意而转让本协议重组、重组或重组ICANN等受让人的明确承担本协议的条款和条件，（ii）注册可以分配本协议不同意ICANN注册的全资子公司的子公司的明示承担本 协议的条款和条件，和（iii）ICANN应被视为同意转让请求，其中与该转让 请求相关的受让人与ICANN签订了注册认证协议（前提是该受让人在所有重 要方面均符合该注册认证协议的条款和条件），除非ICANN在根据本第7.3.1 条收到该转让请求通知后十（10）个日历日内向注册官对该转让请求提出书 面异议。 7.3.2如果一个实体获得了注册官的股票、资产或业务的控股权益，注册官 应在该等收购后的七(7)天内提供ICANN通知。该等通知应包括一份声明，确 认注册人员符合当时有效的认证规范或政策标准，并符合其在本协议项下的 义务。在通知后三十（30）天内，ICANN可以向注册官提供额外的信息，以 遵守本协议，在这种情况下，注册官必须在十五（15）天内提供所要求的信 息。任何有关注册官继续认证的争议，应根据第5.8条予以解决。 7.4 谈判 过程。 7.4.1如果是ICANN的首席执行官（ “CEO ”）或注册利益相关者集团主席（ “主席 ”）希望讨论本协议的任何修订，首席执 行官或主席应向对方提供书面通知，合理详细说明本协议的建议修订（ “谈 判通知 ”）。尽管有上述规定，首席执行官和主席均不得(i)修改本协议，（ii）在2014年6月30日或之前根据第7.4节修改本协议，或（iii）在2014 年7月1日开始的任何12个月期间提出修改或提交谈判通知。 7.4.2在收到首席执行官或该公司的谈判通知后ICANN主席和工作组应就本协议拟议修订的形式和实质进行真诚协商（本

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 参数 单反（月） 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。 共识政策和临时政策规范 1.共识政策。 1.1.“共识政策 ”是指(1)根据ICANN的章程和正当程序制定的程序，以及(2)涵盖本文件第1.2
