Paragraph 3.6 of the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) obligates all ICANN-accredited registrars to submit to ICANN or, at the registrar’s election and expense, to a reputable escrow agent, a copy of the electronic database maintained by the registrar in accordance with paragraph 3.4.1 of the RAA on a schedule, under the terms, and in the format specified by ICANN.
The RAA at paragraph 3.4.1 describes a database containing, for each registered name under a registrar’s sponsorship:
• The name of the Registered Name;
• The names of the primary nameserver and secondary nameserver(s) for the Registered Name;
• The identity of Registrar (which may be provided through Registrar’s website);
• The original creation date of the registration;
• The expiration date of the registration;
• The name and postal address of the Registered Name Holder;
• The name, postal address, e-mail address, voice telephone number, and (where available) fax number of the technical contact for the Registered Name; and
• The name, postal address, e-mail address, voice telephone number, and (where available) fax number of the administrative contact for the Registered Name;
• The name and (where available) postal address, e-mail address, voice telephone number, and fax number of the billing contact; and
• Any other Registry Data that Registrar has submitted to the Registry Operator or placed in the Registry Database under Subsection 3.2 of the RAA.
The attached document reflects an initial attempt to specify the schedule, terms, and format registrars must use to escrow data pursuant to RAA paragraph 3.6.
This document is offered as a “straw man” for further consideration and discussion by the Registrar Data Escrow working group and the larger registrar community. Please feel free to post comments here and I will undertake revisions as appropriate.
