📅 - The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (icann.org) announced on Sunday it has signed an exchange of letters with the country code top-level domain manager for the .fi domain for Finland, the Finnish Communications Regulatory Authority.
The accountability framework program provides two mechanisms by which ccTLD managers can formalize their relationship with ICANN.
The first is an accountability framework document that defines the responsibilities of a ccTLD manager and ICANN. It also includes dispute resolution and termination and is designed for ccTLD managers requiring a formal document with ICANN.
The second mechanism is an exchange of letters between ICANN and the ccTLD manager intended for those for whom a simple statement of commitment is more appropriate.
