These are intended to provide overall information on OFAC, not analysis of the relationship between OFAC compliance and ICANN. If there are other helpful general resources, please reply to this email. OFAC FAQ, General Questions: https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/faqs/Sanctions/Pages/faq_general.as... A basic overview of OFAC compliance for US-based businesses (a little old (2011), but still helpful): https://www.law360.com/articles/262952/4-steps-toward-ofac-sanctions-complia... (Also attached as PDF in case the link can't be accessed) Good overview, though oriented toward banks and financial institutions, from FFIEC (Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, a US inter-agency body empowered to prescribe uniform principles, standards, and report forms for the federal examination of financial institutions): https://www.ffiec.gov/bsa_aml_infobase/pages_manual/olm_037.htm Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_Foreign_Assets_Control IEEE and OFAC: https://www.ieee.org/about/corporate/compliance/legal/ofac/DF_IEEE_MIG_NAV_9...
