ICANN Formalizes Relationships with ccTLD Managers for Côte d'Ivoire and Russia

📅 March 28, 2007 -

ICANN announced today that it has formalized its 20th and 21st relationships with country code top level domain (ccTLD) managers. Today's are for .ci - Côte d'Ivoire (Institut National Polytechnique Felix Houphouet Boigny), and .ru - Russia (Coordination Center for TLD RU).

The signings took place today at ICANN's 28th public meeting being held in Lisbon, Portugal.

The relationship with Côte d'Ivoire and the Russian Federation isan exchange of letters. They represent the 20th and 21st formalized relationshipsbetween ccTLD managers and ICANN.

The Accountability Framework program provides two mechanisms by which ccTLD managers can formalise their relationship with ICANN. The first is an Accountability Framework document that sets out the obligations of a ccTLD manager and ICANN. It also covers 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 designed for those for whom a simple statement of commitment is more appropriate.
