Audit Program Update
The Request for Information (RFI) phase closed on 7 January 2013 for 317 Registrars and six Registry Operators. Ten breach notices were issued to registrars who failed to respond by the deadline. One Registry Operator declined to participate.
ICANN followed up with a "RFI - Audit Program Year 1 Continuous Improvement Survey" to the participants. The objective of the survey is to seek feedback, to measure the satisfaction level, and to determine specific areas for improvement for future RFI phases.
The ICANN Contractual Compliance Audit Program is now in the Audit phase. During this phase, ICANN will review about 20,000 uploaded documents and will issue an Audit Report to each contracted party. A "No Deficiencies" audit report will require no further action. An audit report with deficiencies will require the contracted party to take action; either to cure or to provide a remediation plan. This phase will follow the 1-2-3 notification process.
