A '''registrar''' has direct relationships with domain name [[Registry|registries]] and is authorized to sell domain names. In order to become a registrar, one has to be accredited through ICANN, which requires that they meet certain business and technical requirements.
'''Vertical Integration''' ('''VI''', or '''Cross Ownership''') is a business structure in which the various functions of the [[Registry]] Operator and the [[Registrar]] are handled by a single body. This single body is either owned or is under supervision of the same company that supports the specific [[gTLD]]; alternatively, the controlling body can be a partnered company that is given the contract of the gTLD. The Registry Operator is not required to provide equivalent access and non-discriminatory access to non-affiliated registrars to sell names under its gTLD.

TLDs with signed Registry Agreements
As the expansion of the Domain Name space becomes a reality, dozens of new gTLDs are joining the ranks of current TLDs by signed Registry Agreements (RAs) with ICANN. Signing a contract is a significant step towards the delegation of a new TLD, and ICANNWiki has an up-to-date list of TLDs that have signed RAs.

Article of the Week

Vertical Integration
Vertical Integration (VI, or Cross Ownership) is a business structure in which the various functions of the Registry Operator and the Registrar are handled by a single body. This single body is either owned or is under supervision of the same company that supports the specific gTLD; alternatively, the controlling body can be a partnered company that is given the contract of the gTLD. The Registry Operator is not required to provide equivalent access and non-discriminatory access to non-affiliated registrars to sell names under its gTLD. (Read full article...)
