[Online Course] Registrant Basics: Essentials for Domain Name Holders
by Fahd Batayneh July 19, 2020

July 19, 2020

Friends and Colleagues, ICANN Learn, the ICANN Online Learning Platform (OLP), has a course entitled “Registrant Basics: Essentials for Domain Name Holders” that you might find interesting. The course aims to educate both actual domain name holders (registrants) and the broader end-user community about the rights and responsibilities of registrants. This includes the role a registrant has in the domain name ecosystem, and the ICANN policies that affect them. Many domain name holders do not even realize that they are defined as ‘registrants’ per ICANN’s contractual terminology, and are often confused about what domain names are, what ICANN’s role is, and what are the policies that individuals must follow when they either register or manage a domain name. In addition to covering the basics about being a registrant and the fundamentals of domain name management, this course will also introduce more advanced content, such as how to protect domain names from being stolen or “hijacked.” The course needs 60-90 minutes for completion, and is an excellent course for those interested in learning the rights and responsibilities of a domain name registrant. You can access the course here >> https://learn.icann.org/#/online-courses/15c8a57c-9e5a-49bb-8b25-c36ab00a47…. Other courses on ICANN Learn can be found here https://learn.icann.org/.
