 ICANN/VeriSign Agreement Questions and Answers * What does this mean for the lawsuits between ICANN and VeriSign? * What does this mean for future registry services VeriSign might introduce? 1. What does this mean for the lawsuits between ICANN and VeriSign? Pending public comment and full approval by the ICANN board, the proposed agreement settles many long standing points of tension between VeriSign and ICANN which have adversely affected the broader Internet community. It eliminates all pending litigation between the two parties, and -- importantly for the community -- more ICANN staff and resources can be devoted to ICANN's core functions, rather than to litigation with VeriSign over the terms of the .com registry agreement. In the future, in the event of a disagreement relating to the .com registry agreement, both sides will be able to make use of binding arbitration under the International Chamber of Commerce. 2. What does this mean for future registry services VeriSign might introduce? The proposed agreement outlines a clearly defined process for the introduction of new registry services in .COM. VeriSign agrees that all new registry services will be reviewed by ICANN prior to introduction through a transparent, defined and timely process. Under the proposal, VeriSign and ICANN are agreeing to clear definitions and processes for review that further advance the stability and security of the DNS: * VeriSign agrees to a new, clarified definition of registry services; * VeriSign agrees not to make changes to registry services without prior notice; * VeriSign agrees to put new registry services through an appropriate filter for competition, security and stability; this process strikes the right balance between innovation and business certainty and the need to ensure competition, security and stability in the DNS; * VeriSign and ICANN agree to solid technical definitions of potential effects on "security" and "stability"; * A standing panel of International neutral technical experts will review proposed changes to registry services for potential security and stability issues; * Competition issues will be referred to appropriate governmental competition authority/authorities; the proposed agreement clarifies ICANN's role and recognizes that determination of whether a registry's action is competitive or anti-competitive is an appropriate function of existing national bodies; and * The agreement includes compulsory arbitration using the ICC (International Chamber of Commerce) in Paris, which is appropriate for an international organization such as ICANN.
