The '''[[Registrar Stakeholder Group]] (RrSG)''' is an [[ICANN]] [[Stakeholder Groups|stakeholder group]] representing ICANN-accredited [[registrars]]. It was first recognized by the [[ICANN Board]] on 27 May 1999. The RrSG participates in ICANN's [[PDP|policy-making process]] as a part of the [[CPH|Contracted Parties House]] under the Generic Names Supporting Organization ([[GNSO]]), the main policymaking body for ICANN. Three representatives from the RrSG are elected to the [[GNSO Council]]. The members of the RrSG have regular meetings with ICANN policy, finance, and registrar and finance liaison staff, as well as with the members of registries, the government, and law enforcement agencies.

'''[[RegisterFly]]''' was a domain name registrar. Its accreditation was terminated by ICANN in 2007 due to massive customer complaints and violations of provisions in the [[Registrar Accreditation Agreement]] (RAA).  
The RrSG's Executive Committee includes [[Ashley Heineman]] (chair), [[Owen Smigelski]] (vice chair, policy), and [[Jothan Frakes]] (vice chair, technical operations).

The uproar over RegisterFly was the spur for ICANN to extend the operations and scope of [[Contractual Compliance]] to include regular audits of registrars and registries for conformity to ICANN's RAA and [[Registry Agreement]].
