Notes

Additional information regarding requests: 
To encourage RAA compliance throughout the five year term, RAA renewal should be based on a review of the Registrar’s contractual compliance record.
Under the terms of the RAA, registrars are given a presumption of RAA renewal. Section 5.4 states in relevant part, “… if Registrar seeks to continue its accreditation, it may apply for renewed accreditation, and shall be entitled  to renewal provided it meets the ICANN-adopted specification or policy on accreditation criteria then in effect, is in compliance with its obligations under this Agreement, as it may be amended…”  An amendment to this text could emphasize compliance over the term of the accreditation.  A review of a registrar’s contractual compliance history as part of the RAA renewal process would be beneficial.
