One of the requirements built into [[ICANN]]'s new gTLD program is the daily transfer of [[Whois]] data to a reputable escrow agent. NCC Group is not new to the ICANN community, and has been working in the domain name industry since 2008, when it assisted ICANn with the development of the gTLD Registry Failover Plan. It has since become a registry escrow provider for a number of registries and registrars. It is the only escrow provider with major operation in Europe and North America, and is compliant with US and EU law.<ref>[http://www.nccgroup.us/solutions/escrow/registry-data-escrow.aspx Registry Data Escrow, NCCGroup.us]</ref>
