On 1 August 2005, ICANN posted a draft registry agreement with ICM Registry (the “Registry Agreement”), which the Board discussed on 15 September 2005. At that meeting, the ICANN Board directed staff to consider the need for additional contract provisions to (i) ensure that ICM would develop and implement policies consistent with the principles reflected in its application, and (ii) assure the community that such commitments would be honored in the event of a change of control. Subsequently, in a letter dated 21 March 2006 to GAC Chairman Sharil Tarmizi, Acting Assistant Secretary John Kneuer (the US Department of Commerce) criticized the draft for failing to specifically reference “key commitments offered by ICM Registry” in the application process. Finally, in its Wellington Communique, the GAC articulated certain concerns and sought certain assurances in connection with the Registry Agreement between ICANN and ICM Registry.
