===Registry Data Escrow===
===Registry Data Escrow===
Registry data escrow is one of the essential stakeholder protection mechanisms for gTLDs. The purpose of registry data escrow is to help safeguard registrar and registrant interests in the event of a registry’s business or technical failure. Registry data escrow ensures that the data associated with registered domain names is never at risk of being lost or inaccessible. Registry data escrow is a specialized data protection service designed to meet the compliance and “best practice” needs of domain name registrants worldwide. This service ensures that up-to-date copies of domain name ownership and contact details are held in escrow by a trusted, neutral third party (such as Iron Mountain), and that this information can be accessed and released only under pre-defined and controlled conditions. Iron Mountain’s Registry Data Escrow service is fully automated and has been enhanced at the request of ICANN and the registry community and per the specifications of the program to ensure customer ease-of-use.<ref> [http://www.ironmountain.com/Services/Technology-Escrow-Services/Registry-Data-Escrow.aspx Iron Mountain Registry Data Escrow], IronMountain.com. </ref/
