The history of ICANN's compliance enforcement runs parallel to the history of the organization's agreements with contracted parties: specifically, [[Registry Agreement|registry agreements]] and [[Registrar Accreditation Agreement|registrar accreditation agreements]] with registries and registrars, respectively. Contractual Compliance's role changed over time as those agreements were amended to include additional expectations, obligations, and mandates of contracted parties.
