Three Registrars Lose ICANN Accreditation [Warnings]

To reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address into your computer – a name or a number. That address has to be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN coordinates these unique identifiers across the world. Without that coordination we wouldn’t have one global Internet.

ICANN terminated its accreditation agreement with three registrars – Hosting365 Inc., OOO “Russian Registrar” and R.B. Data Net LTD for failure to comply with the requirements of the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA).

The RAA is the contract between ICANN and registrars that governs the registration of domain names under generic top-level domains such as dot-com and dot-org.
