Common use of COMMUNITY REGISTRATION POLICIES Clause in Contracts

COMMUNITY REGISTRATION POLICIES. Registry Operator shall implement and comply with all community registration policies described below and/or attached to this Specification 12. In the event Specification 12 conflicts with the requirements of any other provision of the Registry Agreement, such other provision shall govern. [Insert registration policies] Eligibility Registry Operator takes its responsibilities to the global banking community seriously and it is essential that registrations only be permitted by verified members of the banking community. Therefore, registrations may initially be made by the following for-profit and not-for-profit businesses or organizations: State, regional and provincial banks that are chartered and supervised by a government regulatory authority; Savings associations that are chartered and supervised by a government regulatory authority; National banks that are chartered and supervised by a government regulatory authority; Associations whose members are primarily comprised of entities identified above in points 1, 2, or 3; Groups of associations whose members are primarily comprised of associations identified above in point 4; Service providers that are principally owned by or predominantly supporting regulated entities identified above in points 1, 2, or 3 (if approved by the Registry Operator Board of Directors); and Government regulators of chartered and supervised banks or savings associations or organizations whose members are primarily comprised of such government regulators (if approved by the Registry Operator Board of Directors). To ensure strict compliance with its policies, Registry Operator will develop and implement a registrant eligibility criteria and evaluation process. This process requires collecting registrant information that will be used by Registry Operator or its designated third-party service provider to authenticate that the registrant is a member of the global banking community. This requirement will be hard coded into Registry Operator’s Registry-Registrar Agreement (RRA). As part of the registration process, potential registrants will be required to provide certain information to Registry Operator, or its designated third-party service provider, to verify their eligibility to register a domain name in TLD. This information may include, but is not limited to the following: Full legal name Business name Business address Business phone Business email Another proof of identity necessary to establish that the registrant is an eligible member of the banking community (e.g., business license, certificate of formation, articles of incorporation, corporate operating agreement, charter documents, attorney opinion letter, mission statement for non-profit organization): For banks and savings associations, the assigned regulatory ID and government regulatory authority issuing its charter or license. Registry Operator, a limited liability company formed and domiciled in the United States (U.S.), must comply with all U.S. laws, rules, and regulations. One such set of regulations is the economic and trade sanctions program administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. These sanctions have been imposed on certain countries, as well as individuals and entities that appear on OFAC's List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (the SDN List). Registry Operator is prohibited from providing most goods or services to residents of sanctioned countries or their governmental entities or to SDNs without an applicable U.S. government authorization or exemption. Registry Operator must take into account all applicable laws, rules and regulations in the jurisdictions where it operates. As such, Registry Operator reserves the right to deny or cancel registrations based upon relevant sanctions, programs or standards administered and/or supported in other jurisdictions. Applicants who meet the eligibility requirements and have been authenticated as a legitimate member of the community will then be able to register their domains in the TLD provided that the name to be registered complies with appropriate name selection and use measures outlined below. Domain names that pass the vetting process will be placed in a pending create status before becoming valid. Applicants rejected for either a non-eligibility criteria or use of domain evaluation can appeal the decision to Registry Operator. Registry Operator will audit all approved registrants and their strings to ensure compliance with eligibility and use requirements. Name Selection Domains initially registered in the TLD must correspond to a trademark, trade name or other service xxxx of the registrant, unless otherwise agreed to by Registry Operator Board of Directors in consultation with the Advisory Council, and subject to compliance with Trademark Clearinghouse Rights Protection Mechanism Requirements. Registry Operator will initially not accept generic domain name registrations except to the extent permissible by ICANN for Registry Operator’s operations. Registry Operator will reserve a set of domain names prior to launch that will either be used in its capacity as set forth in Specification 9 of the template Registry Agreement, or may be equitably allocated to members of the community upon approval of Registry Operator’s Board of Directors in consultation with the Advisory Council. The subset of domain names reserved for use by Registry Operator may be commonly used words and phrases and/or geographic terms. Registry Operator will extend an enhanced rights protection mechanism that will provide trademark owners with the ability to challenge the registration or potential use of these domain names. This challenge process will be modeled after the highly successful dotAsia Pioneering Program. Notwithstanding the forgoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this clause shall be and remain subject to all rights, duties, restrictions and limitations of the Agreement. Content/Use Restrictions Registry Operator will have an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) that will govern how a registrant may use its registered name. A copy of the AUP (which may be amended from time to time) follows: All .bank domains must be used to serve the needs of the global banking community. By registering a .bank domain name you agree to be bound by the terms of this Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). In using your domain, you may not:
