Dear APAC Space members, 

 

Should you be interested, the following ICANN proceedings are open for community input.

1. Review of the Draft Registry Service Provider (RSP) Handbook - New gTLD Program

Submission Link: Inputs can be submitted here.
Submission Deadline: 22 April 2024, 23:59 (UTC)

2. Proposed Renewal of the Registry Agreement for the .XXX top-level domain (TLD)

Description: ICANN is seeking input on ICM Registry’s proposal to renew the legacy .XXX Registry Agreement (RA). The proposed .XXX renewal agreement has a few key differences with the current RA, such as obligations on taking actions against DNS abuse, and includes an addendum that modifies certain terms in the base generic TLD Registry Agreement (Base RA) that are inapplicable due to the nature of the legacy TLD.
