ICANN Formalises Relationship With Domain Managers In Peru And Hungary

by Glen Shapiro, LawAndTax-News.com, New York

04 September 2006

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) last week announced that it has signed an accountability framework with the country code top level domain (ccTLD) manager for the Peru country code .pe - Red Científica Peruana.

ICANN has also signed an exchange of letters with the ccTLD manager for the Hungarian suffix .hu - Magyarországi Internet Szolgáltatók Tanácsa Egyesület.

The Accountability Framework program provides two mechanisms by which ccTLD managers can formalise their relationship with ICANN.

The first is an Accountability Framework document that sets out the obligations of a ccTLD manager and ICANN. It also covers dispute resolution and termination and is designed for ccTLD managers requiring a formal document with ICANN.

The second mechanism is an exchange of letters between ICANN and the ccTLD manager, and is designed for those for whom a simple statement of commitment is more appropriate.

Earlier in the year, ICANN signed an exchange of letters with United Kingdom country code Top-Level Domain (ccTLD) manager, Nominet.
