Registry Agreement Termination Information Page
As part of ICANN's efforts to be open and transparent with the ICANN community, ICANN will use this page as the source of current information related to any requests for termination.
Termination Process
Under the New gTLD Registry Agreement, either party may terminate pursuant to certain requirements in the Registry Agreement ("Termination"), including but not limited to the following:
- Section 4.3 – Termination by ICANN
- Section 4.4 – Termination by Registry Operator
Pursuant to the above sections, in the event of termination by either party and after consultation with Registry Operator, ICANN shall determine whether or not to transition operation of the Registry to a sucessor registry operator in its sole discretion and in conformance with the Registry Transition Process ("Preliminary Determination").
For the avoidance of doubt, ICANN's Preliminary Determination shall not prohibit ICANN from delegating the gTLD purusuant to a future application process for the delegation of top-level-domains, subject to any processes and objection procedures instituted by ICANN in connection with such application process intended to protect the rights of third parties.
Following ICANN's consultation with Registry Operator, the Termination Notice and ICANN's Preliminary Determination will be published on this webpage. Interested parties may review and provide input regarding a Termination Notice and ICANN's Preliminary Determination by emailing comments to ra-termination-comments@icann.org. The deadline to provide input for a given Termination Notice is noted in the "Notices of Termination and Status of gTLD" table. Comments may be viewed at http://forum.icann.org/lists/ra-termination-comments.
