The Registry Agreement (RA) is a generic formal document constructed by ICANN, it's Councils and Boards, and the community at large. It was written in order to formalize a relationship between the designated Registry of the TLD and ICANN. The document sets the rights, obligations, and other terms of agreement that the would-be Registry must submit to in order to become a Registry Operator.[1]
History
First Registry Agreement
The first ever Registry Agreement was signed between ICANN and Network Solutions (later bought by Verisign) on November 10th, 1999 for the gTLDs .com, .net, and .org.[2]
New gTLD Program
The first Registry Agreements to be signed for TLDs from ICANN's new expansion program were unveiled and signed at ICANN 47 in Durban. All 4 agreements were signed for IDNs. They were:
- .شبكة - applicant is International Domain Registry Pty. Ltd., the string is Arabic for "web or network"
- .онлайн - applicant is CORE, the string is Russian for "online"
- .сайт - applicant is CORE, the string is Russian for "site"
- .游戏 - applicant is Donuts (Spring Fields LLC), the string is Chinese (Hans/Simplified) for "games"[3]
Controversy
There has been some controversy regarding ICANN's right to unilaterally amend the RA and other agreements. On February 5th, 2013, ICANN published a new version of the RA with language that gave the organization unilateral right to amend the contract between them and Registries. A public comment period that followed the February version saw 30 comments that opposed the "right to amend" language.[4]
2023 Vote on Global Amendments
On 19 January 2023, contracted parties began voting on the proposed 2023 Global Amendments to the Base Generic Top-level Domain Registry Agreement and 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA). The proposed global amendments specify operational requirements for providing Registration Data Directory Services (RDDS) via RDAP and detail the sunset of certain obligations for registries and registrars to provide RDDS via the WHOIS protocols. Contracted parties have 60 days to approve or reject the proposed global amendments. Voting is carried out by eBallot, a secure third-party online voting platform operated by Votenet. For approval, a majority threshold will have to be met for gTLD registries (over 50 percent) and ICANN-accredited registrars (90 percent).[5]
