>MARINA DEL REY, Calif.: The Internet Corporation 
>for Assigned Names and Numbers today launched 
>the Contractual Compliance Newsletter, a 
>newsletter that offers a snapshot of the wide 
>range of compliance work being done by ICANN.
>
>Each issue of the newsletter will cover 
>enforcement statistics, an in-depth look at part 
>of the compliance process, information about 
>audits and studies, and upcoming events. The 
>Newsletter will also include new advisories for 
>registries and registrars to help them 
>understand and continue to improve their compliance with ICANN contracts.
>
>In recent feedback on ICANNs performance under 
>the Joint Project Agreement with the US National 
>Telecommunications Infrastructure 
>Administration, there was input about ICANN's 
>work on Whois accuracy, and that compliance 
>needed to be better understood. ICANN's goal is 
>that this newsletter will be an important way to 
>address these concerns and continue community 
>dialogue about how to improve contractual compliance.
>
>The first issue of the Newsletter explains why 
>and how ICANN does contract compliance with our 
>contracted parties; gTLD registries and 
>registrars. It also includes statistics on the 
>consumer complaints ICANN receives and on 
>enforcement notices we send out. This issues 
>section on studies and audits includes an update 
>on the Whois Data Accuracy Study, the Registrar 
>Whois Data Inaccuracy Audit and the Performance 
>Specifications Audit of Registries.
