Historical background

One of the new provisions added in the RAA 2009 requires ICANN to develop, in consultation with registrars, a web page outlining registrants\' rights and obligations. This published document is based on the initial recommendations of a joint working group of the OPRI Board and the Expanded Advisory Committee, and subsequent consultations with registrars, and provides simple and clear general language on registrants\' rights and obligations as provided for under the RAA 2009
