The '''Registry Agreement''' is a generic formal document constructed by [[ICANN]], it's Councils and Boards, and the community at large. It was written in order to formalize a relationship between applications participating in the [[New gTLD Program]] and [[ICANN]]. The document sets the rights, obligations, and other terms of agreement that the applicant must submit to in order to become a Registry Operator.<ref>[http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/agb/base-agreement-contracting Registry Agreement, New gTLDs, ICANN.org] Retrieved 10 Sept 2013</ref>

There has been some controversy regarding ICANN's right to unilaterally amend the '''RA''' and other agreements. On February 5th, 2013, [[ICANN]] published a new version of the '''RA''' with language that gave the organization unilateral right to amend the contract between them and [[Registries]]. A public comment period that followed the February version saw 30 comments that opposed the "right to amend" language.<ref>[http://www.internetgovernance.org/2013/09/05/meltdown-ii-the-unilateral-right-to-amend/ The Unilateral Right to Amend, Internet Governance.org]Published 5 Sept 2013, Retrieved 10 Sept 2013</ref>
