(21 May 2009)

.AERO APPENDIX

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, a California non-profit, public benefit corporation ("ICANN"), and [Registrar Name], a [organization type and jurisdiction] ("Registrar") have entered into a Registrar Accreditation Agreement ("Registrar Accreditation Agreement"), of which this appendix (".aero Appendix") is a part.

Registrar wishes to be accredited in the .aero TLD pursuant to and subject to the Registrar Accreditation Agreement and ICANN wishes to accredit Registrar in the .aero TLD. Pursuant to and subject to the Registrar Accreditation Agreement, Registrar and ICANN hereby agree as follows:

1. Definitions. All initially capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the definitions assigned to such terms in the Registrar Accreditation Agreement.

2. Registrar Election. Registrar hereby elects and agrees to become accredited by ICANN to provide Registration Services in the .aero TLD.

3. ICANN's Acceptance. ICANN hereby accepts Registrar's election to become accredited by ICANN to provide Registration Services in the .aero TLD.

4. Need for Agreement with Sponsor. Registrar’s obligation under Subsection 3.1 to operate as a registrar for the .aero TLD is conditioned upon the .aero Sponsor (designated as such by a TLD Sponsorship Agreement with ICANN) selecting Registrar as one authorized to act as an .aero registrar and upon an Authorizing Agreement between Registrar and the .aero Sponsor.

5. Sponsored TLD/Sponsor’s Delegated Authority. Registrar acknowledges that the .aero TLD is a sponsored TLD, over which the .aero Sponsor has delegated policy-formulation authority under its TLD Sponsorship Agreement with ICANN. The scope of delegation is currently stated at <http://www.icann.org/tlds/agreements/aero/sponsorship-agmt-att2-20nov01.htm> and includes topics that will affect the manner in which Registrar conducts its business of registering domain names in the .aero TLD. (The delegation includes, for example, “Practices and performance of ICANN-Accredited Registrars selected by Sponsor with respect to Registered Names and their registration.”) Registrar agrees to comply with the requirements established by the .aero Sponsor within its delegated scope of policy-formulation authority.

6. Deviations from Obligations of this Agreement Due to Delegation. The .aero Sponsor may develop and implement a policy within the scope of its authority granted by its TLD Sponsorship Agreement with ICANN that requires Registrar to deviate from one or more obligations of this Registrar Accreditation Agreement. In that event, the .aero Sponsor will notify ICANN in writing of the policy and the manner in which the .aero Sponsor believes that Registrar’s obligation(s) under this Registrar Accreditation Agreement should be modified. Within thirty days after this notification, ICANN will either:

(a) notify Registrar and the .aero Sponsor in writing of the modification(s) to Registrar’s obligations under this Registrar Accreditation Agreement that in ICANN’s opinion is (are) appropriate to allow Registrar to comply with the .aero Sponsor policy. In case of this notification by ICANN, Registrar may act in conformity with the modified obligation(s) stated in the ICANN notification.

(b) notify Registrar and the .aero Sponsor in writing that in ICANN’s opinion no modification of Registrar’s obligations is appropriate. In case of this notification by ICANN, Registrar will continue to comply with its obligations without any modification until it is notified in writing by ICANN that a resolution of any difference between the opinions of ICANN and the .aero Sponsor is resolved.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this .aero Appendix to be executed by their duly authorized representatives.
