(November 10, 2000) The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announced today that twenty-four (24) additional companies have qualified to be accredited as domain name registrars in the .com, .net and .org domains. They are:

• 123 Registration, Inc. (United States)
• Address Creation (United States)
• AZC, Inc. d/b/a AZC.COM (United States)
• Bazillion Inc. (United States)
• Central Registrar, Inc. d/b/a DomainMonger.Com (United States)
• Domain-It! (United States)
• Eastern Counties Newspapers Group Limited d/b/a Eastern Counties Network (United Kingdom)
• EchoKorea, Inc. d/b/a DomainRG (Korea)
• eWindowShop.com (United States)
• Future Media Network d/b/a FM-NET (Japan)
• Gabia Inc. (Korea)
• GlobalHosting, Inc. d/b/a SiteRegister (United States)
• Globedom Datenkommunikations GmbH d/b/a Globedom (Austria)

• Primus Telecommunications (Australia) Pty. Ltd. (Australia)
• Professo, LLC (United States)
• Registration Technologies, Inc. (United States)

These new 24 bring the total number of companies that have met the criteria for accreditation to 159. The new registrars will become part of the Shared Registration System ("SRS"), the domain name registration system for competitive registrars in the .com, .net, and .org top-level domains. Stability of the Internet and continuity for consumers are protected by the requirement that every business desiring to become a registrar in top-level domains must first become accredited by ICANN. Under the SRS competing ICANN-accredited registrars register domain names utilizing one shared, central registry operated and maintained by Verisign Global Registry Services. Inc.
