After ICANN approved the revised Registrar Accreditation Agreement in May,2009 ,about 650 registrars showed interest in the new agreement.
Therefore,now about 88% of all generic domain names are covered by the new protections.
“The fact that the vast majority of generic domain names are now covered by these protections is a clear sign of the industry’s goodwill and its commitment to effective self-regulation - especially since some of these protections come at a cost to the companies themselves. It is an extraordinary achievement in a very short time.”,said Rod Beckstrom,ICANN's CEO and President .
Here are some other protections that are being offered to the registrants under the new contract :
Enhanced enforcement tools to assure registrar compliance with ICANN policies
Enhanced data escrow requirements to protect registrants that use privacy or proxy services
A Registrant Rights & Responsibilities document
New requirements placed on resellers
Improved contact information requirements
Registrar required training program
