Welcome to the DomainNameWire.com newsletter.

This week ICANN published what it hopes to be the "final"
version of the new registrar accreditation agreement (RAA).
The RAA is the contract between ICANN And domain registrars.

The contract affects every person who registers a second
level domain under a gTLD, so it's an important
agreement.

Even though many registrars still have time left on their
existing RAA and thus don't have to sign the new RAA
right away, it's expected that registrars will have to
agree to the latest RAA to sell any of the new TLDs.

In other words: this RAA will affect you soon.

Which is why it's important to understand some of the new
features and requirements of the RAA.

For example:

* You will now have to verify your email address or phone
number with your registrar

* If you don't update your whois information within 7 days
of a change, your domain can be suspended.

* Your domain registrar will retain information about
you, even after you move your domain to another registrar
or let it expire.

Here's a summary of how the new RAA impacts domain
name registrants:
