Common use of Registration Policy Clause in Contracts

Registration Policy. (A) Registry Operator shall establish registration policies with respect to the TLD for: (i) naming conventions within the TLD, (ii) requirements for registration by members of the TLD community, and (iii) use of registered domain names in conformity with the stated purpose of the community-based TLD. Registry Operator shall operate the TLD in a manner that allows the TLD community to discuss and participate in the development and modification of policies and practices for the TLD. Registry Operator shall establish procedures for the enforcement of registration policies for the TLD, and resolution of disputes concerning compliance with TLD registration policies, and shall enforce such registration policies. Registry Operator agrees to implement and be bound by the Registry Restrictions Dispute Resolution Procedure as set forth at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/en/resources/registries/rrdrp ; with respect to disputes arising pursuant to this Section 3.1(c)(i)(A). Registry Operator shall implement and comply with the community registration policies set forth on Specification 12 attached hereto. (B) Registry Operator shall reserve, and not register any TLD strings (i) appearing on the list of reserved TLD strings attached as Specification 5 hereto (“Specification 5”) or (ii) located at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt for initial (i.e., other than renewal) registration at the second level within the TLD. Except to the extent ICANN otherwise authorizes in writing, Registry Operator shall comply with the requirements of Specification 5. Registry Operator may any time establish or modify policies concerning Registry Operator’s ability to reserve (i.e., withhold from registration or allocate to Registry Operator, but not register to third parties, delegate, use, activate in the DNS or otherwise make available) or block additional character strings within the TLD at its discretion. Except as specified in Specification 5, if Registry Operator is the registrant for any domain names in the registry TLD, such registrations must be through an ICANN accredited registrar, and will be considered transactions for purposes of calculating the Registry-Level Transaction Fee to be paid to ICANN by Registry Operator pursuant to Section 7.2.
