Re: a) What process does ICANN have to audit registrar compliance with the RAA? ICANN plans to "increase" site visits to assess RAA compliance -- they will now visit up to 100 sites -- golly that's almost ten percent of the registrar community, so perhaps in a decade we will finally have full compliance. See page 22 of the current operating plan at http://www.icann.org/planning/ops-budget-framework-09.pdf b) Once egregious violations of the RAA is brought to ICANN's attention, what process does ICANN have to correct them? Currently ICANN puts out a "Notice of Intent to Issue Advisory", accepts public comments, and then does nothing. -- see http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-19sep07.htm as an example of current practices. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
