ICANN Formalizes Relationship With Niue's ccTLD Manager

by Mary Swire, for LawAndTax-News.com, Hong Kong

23 January 2008

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) on Tuesday announced that it had signed an exchange of letters with the country code top level domain (ccTLD) manager for .nu -Niue, the Internet Users Society Niue.

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, designed for those for whom a simple statement of commitment is more appropriate.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers is an internationally organized, non-profit corporation that has responsibility for Internet Protocol (IP) address space allocation, protocol identifier assignment, generic (gTLD) and country code (ccTLD) Top-Level Domain name system management, and root server system management functions.
