ICANN Formalizes
Relationship with Costa
Rica ccTLD Manager
PARIS - The Internet
Corporation for Assigned
Names and Numbers (ICANN)
is another step closer
to formalized
relationships with all
Latin American ccTLDs
with the signing of its
ninth accountability
framework in the region,
this one with the
country code top-level
domain (ccTLD) manager
for .cr, delegated to
the National Academy of
Sciences of Costa Rica
in 1990.
The signing took place
at the 32nd
International ICANN
meeting being held in
Paris, and was done by
ICANN President and CEO
Dr. Paul Twomey and Dr.
Guy de Téramond Peralta,
Internet pioneer in
Latin America and
administrative contact
for .cr. Dr. Gabriel
Macaya Trejos, President
of the National Academy
of Sciences, Costa Rica,
had already signed the
agreement.
The Accountability
Framework program
provides two mechanisms
by which ccTLD managers
can formalize their
relationship with ICANN.
The first is an
Accountability Framework
document that sets out
the obligations of a
ccTLD manager and ICANN.
It also covers dispute
resolution and
termination and is
designed for ccTLD
managers requiring a
formal document with
ICANN.
The second mechanism is
an exchange of letters
between ICANN and the
ccTLD manager designed
for those for whom a
simple statement of
commitment is more
appropriate.
The Costa Rica
accountability framework
is the 41st signed by
ICANN.
