Shared Registry System (SRS) refers to a system in which an unlimited number of registrars may compete in the domain name registration business by using one shared registry. The SRS came into existence in October 1998 when the United Sates Department of Commerce (DOC) and Network Solutions amended their co-operative agreement, originally stating that Network Solutions was the sole registrar and registry administrator for top-level domains such as .net, .org, and .com.[1] It was a cooperative effort between Network Solutions and the U.S. Government to introduce competition into the arena of the registration of second-level domain (SLDs) in the .net, .com, and .org TLDs.[2]

ICANN has paused any further consideration of DHH’s Assignment request pending the outcome of the Reconsideration Request by the ICANN Board Accountability Mechanisms Committee (BAMC).
