[lac-discuss-en] Domainincite: Brazil loses its only (ICANN accredited) registrar

Vanda, Dev,

that can also be seen as a failure or at least an opportunity for improvement in the strategy, including LACRALO and At Large.

The value added for a company that sells names by becoming an accredited registrar is in providing better consumer protection bbased on the RAA and RRA. That should drive more and better-paying clients to register domain names with them instead of as a reseller.

So maybe the LAC strategy has to reduce its focus on talking to the business community and increase this kind of message to the consumers, so that they will learn to buy domain name registration from better sellers. Hard to achieve, if we look at the huge informal markets in our region, but at least we know this is a point to focus on.

Actually, they stopped to be a Registrar since they got. UOL as their new gTLD in 2013.
Daniel Fink and myself have been talking around the country to encourage ISPs and others to become a Registrar, but even if we got reduced exigencies from ICANN we had no success!!
Less and less registrars in the region… the add value is small and they can sell names just becoming a reseller…

From
http://domainincite.com/22348-brazil-loses-its-only-registrar-as-uol-bows-out

“There are now no ICANN accredited registrars in Brazil, following the termination of Universo Online’s contract this week”

According to Domainincite, the accreditation was ended at UOL’s request.

Wasn’t more ICANN accredited registrars seen as crucial for growing the DNS industry especially when it comes to future gTLDs applications coming from the LAC region ?
