ICANN Formalizes Relationship with Another Three ccTLD Managers

ICANN has today announced that it has signed an exchange letters with the county code top level domain (ccTLD) manager for .lt--Lativa, the Institute of Mathematics and Computor Science, University of Latvia. It has also formalized its relationship with the ccTLD managers for .cx--Christmas Island, the Christmas Island Internet Administration Ltd and .nf--Norfolk Island, the Norfolk Island Data Service by way of accountability framework documents.

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.
