ICANN Board Approves VeriSign Settlement Agreements

28 February 2006

Marina del Rey, California, 28 February 2006: Today, ICANN's Board of
Directors approved, by a majority vote, a set of agreements settling a long
time dispute between ICANN and VeriSign, the registry operator for the .COM
registry.

These settlement documents include a new registry agreement relating to the
operation of the .COM registry. The new .COM registry agreement will now
proceed to the U.S. Department of Commerce for final approval, and the
entire settlement is dependent upon this approval before it is finalized.
USDOC approval is required due to the unique history of the .COM generic
top-level domain and it is the only gTLD which requires such approval. If
approved, this settlement will clear the way for a new and productive
relationship between ICANN and VeriSign facilitating ICANN's stewardship and
technical coordination of the Internet's domain name system.
