Changes

One of the requirements of operating a new gTLD is to engage an independent entity to act as a [[data escrow]] agent. This neutral, trusted third party (such as Iron Mountain) will provision the Registry's data escrow services as specified by the [[Registry Agreement]]. Data escrow is one of the five critical registry functions and is a requirement for all new gTLDs. It is covered in question #38 of the ICANN New gTLD application, and details are given in Specification 2 of the Registry Agreement. New gTLD applicants need to articulate that a plan is in place to escrow gTLD data.
