ICANN announced today that it has signed an exchange of letters with the countrycode top level domain (ccTLD) manager for .am—Armenia, Internet Society(Armenia).
The Accountability Framework program provides two mechanisms by which ccTLDmanagers can formalise their relationship with ICANN. The first is an AccountabilityFramework document that sets out the obligations of a ccTLD manager and ICANN.It also covers dispute resolution and termination and is designed for ccTLDmanagers requiring a formal document with ICANN.
The second mechanism is an exchange of letters between ICANN and the ccTLDmanager designed for those for whom a simple statement of commitment is moreappropriate.
Signed accountability framework and exchange of letters documents can be foundat http://www.icann.org/cctlds/agreements.html.
