==Emergency Back-up Registry Operators (EBEROs)==
In connection with the implementation of new gTLDs, ICANN designed a new program known as Emergency Back-up Registry Operators (EBEROs) to ensure the safety and security of the domain name system. EBEROs will be activated in circumstances wherein a new registry operator needs help to maintain critical functions for a period or time or during transition from one registry operator to another. A Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued by ICANN to solicit applications from entities interested to serve as EBEROs on September 14, 2011.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-2-14sep11-en.htm Safe and Secure New gTLDs: ICANN Seeks Back-up Registry Operators | (Emergency Back-End Registry Operators or "EBEROs")]</ref>

==gTLD Registry Continuity Framework==
ICANN partnered with expert gTLD & ccTLD registries as well as members of the technical community in developing a gTLD Registry Continuity Framework, which aims to protect the existing registrants and to ensure confidence in the DNS. The ICANN core values that serve as guidelines in developing the framework include:</ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registries/continuity gTLD Registry Continuity]</ref>
* Maintain and develop the operational stability, reliability, security, and global interoperability of the Internet.
* Apply documented policies neutrally, objectively with integrity and fairness in decision making.
* Be responsive and speedy in taking actions to resolve the needs of the internet and obtain informed input from affected entities during the decision making process.
