Registry Operator's Monthly Report

Registry Operator shall provide the following information in its monthly reports. Information reported in response to items 5-1613 shall be kept confidential by ICANN until three months after the end of the month to which the report relates.

ICANN shall use reasonable commercial efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the information reported in response to items 5-1613.

1. Accredited Registrar Status. State the number of registrars for whom the Registry Operator had received accreditation notification from ICANN at the end of the reporting month, grouped into the following three status categories:

It should be noted that operational registrars are not listed on the InterNIC.net web site until they specifically request to be listed. This means that a registrar may be operational from the point of view of the Registry Operator but not listed on the InterNIC site.
