Compliance Newsletter Posted

ICANN's October 2010 Contractual Compliance Newsletter has been posted.  Highlights:

Of 119 transfer transactions reviewed, 27 were deemed non-compliant with the IRTP.

Throughout the latter part of 2009 and continuing through July 2010, ICANN observed fewer complaints concerning registrars failing to implement UDRP decisions.

William McKelligott, Senior Auditor, resigned from his position in May 2010. Senior Director David Giza also left the company in July 2010.

NOTE:  No news yet as to whether the Compliance Department will audit registrar public and primary contact information (Section 3.16 of the RAA requires registrars to provide on their web sites accurate contact details, including a valid email and mailing address).
