From 1993 to 1998, [[Network Solutions]] (NSI) was the only Registrar and Registry Operator for the [[.com]], [[.net]] and [[.org]] top level domain names ([[TLD]]s), based on a Cooperative Agreement between NSI and the National Science Foundation ([[NSF]]).<ref>[http://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/cyber/internet.jsp A Brief History of NSF and the Internet]</ref> The [[Department of Commerce]] (DOC) extended and amended the Cooperative Agreement with NSI when the contract expired in 1998. Under the new Cooperative Agreement, NSI would continue to serve as a Registry Operator, but would implement a Shared Registry System ([[SRS]]) by June 1, 1999, meaning that multiple registrars could be accredited by a new non-profit organization that was to be created to take over the technical management of the [[DNS]]. Five new registrars were to be chosen by the new corporation to test the SRS.<ref>[http://www.ntia.doc.gov/legacy/ntiahome/domainname/proposals/DOCNSI100698.htm Special Award Conditions NCR-9218742 Amendment No. 11]</ref> The Agreement was modified twice in order to adjust the date of the deployment of the SRS from June 1 to June 25, 1999,<ref>[http://www.ntia.doc.gov/files/ntia/publications/amend12.pdf Amendment Number 12]</ref> to include a registration fee for new domain names ($9 for one year and $18 for two years), and to include the [[Registrar License Agreement]].<ref>[http://www.ntia.doc.gov/files/ntia/publications/amendment13.pdf Amendment Number 13]</ref>

On November 1998, the DOC officially recognized [[ICANN]] as the new private, non-profit organization responsible in administering the technical management of DNS. Some of its responsibilities would include supervision of the deployment and transition to SRS, development and implementation procedures for registrar accreditation that would ensure a competitive registration system, and to maintain the stability and security of the internet.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/accreditation/history Registrar Accreditation: History of the Shared Registry System]</ref>

1998年11月，商务部正式承认 [[ICANN]]为负责DNS技术管理的新的民间非营利组织。其职责包括监督部署和过渡至SRS、开发并执行能够保证注册系统竞争性的注册商委任程序，并且维护互联网的稳定性和安全性。<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/accreditation/history Registrar Accreditation: History of the Shared Registry System]</ref>

On March 4, 1999, the [[ICANN Board]] adopted the Statement of Registrar Accreditation Policy for the .com, .net and .org TLDs. Under the policy, registrars seeking to participate in the SRS Testbed Program would be required to pay $2,500, while all other registrar applicants would pay $1,000. Applicants that were not selected for the test bed would be considered for regular accreditation.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/accreditation/policy-statement Statement of Registrar Accreditation Policy]</ref>
