FYI: Webinar on "Demystifying ICANN Accreditation"
by Evan Leibovitch Jan. 7, 2011

Jan. 7, 2011

It might be interesting to see things from the other side.... (Sponsored by Logicbox.) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- *Demystifying ICANN Accreditation* *Join us for a Webinar on January 20* <https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/854462531> *Space is limited.* Reserve your Webinar seat now at: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/854462531 Almost all of the largest companies in the web products and services industry are ICANN Accredited. These include big names such as 1&1, GoDaddy, The Planet, Lunarpages, HostGator, et all. Every year, scores of web services companies (webhosts, domainers, web design companies, internet focused law firms, etc.) apply to obtain an ICANN Accreditation. They do this for varied reasons, which range from the obvious cost advantages to the slightly more strategic reasons such as branding, the tapping of additional revenue opportunities, etc. For web hosting companies, getting ICANN Accreditation is an obvious step once you cross a certain inflection point. But tread with caution; ICANN Accreditation is an important step. It takes money, time and effort. Not everyone that applies for an ICANN Accreditation really needs it. More importantly, however, not everyone that applies has what it takes to handle the Accreditation. There are tons of unanswered questions that companies have about ICANN Accreditation: Q. How much does an ICANN Accreditation really end up costing? What are the hidden costs? Q. What rules and regulations will companies need to abide by if they get ICANN Accreditation? Q. When or at what stage should I look at getting my company ICANN Accredited? Q. Is ICANN Accreditation really worth it? We plan on answering all these questions through a simple interactive presentation, with case studies and DIY exercises that can help web hosting companies objectively access their ICANN Accreditation plans. We're the best people to talk about this topic. LogicBoxes; (through its service Accreditation.com) has helped accredit over 15% of the world's Registrars. We also power the domain registration software of industry powerhouses like UK2.net, ResellerClub, Wordpress and HostGator. The presentation will be ably supported by Tim Cole, Chief Registrar Liaison from ICANN. Tim will be providing an ICANN's perspective on what you can expect from the Registrar accreditation process. *Title:* *Demystifying ICANN Accreditation* *Date:* Thursday, January 20, 2011 *Time:* 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST After registering you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the Webinar. *System Requirements* PC-based attendees Required: Windows® 7, Vista, XP or 2003 Server Macintosh®-based attendees Required: Mac OS® X 10.4.11 (Tiger®) or newer
