Registry Operator shall continue to provide reports to ICANN per the terms set forth in Appendix 4 to the Registry Agreement, dated 8 December 2006, for the TLD as set forth at http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/registries/biz/appendix-04-08dec06-en.htm.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Registry Operator shall provide monthly reports for the TLD to ICANN using the API described in draft-lozano-icann-registry-interfaces <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-lozano-icann-registry-interfaces>, no later than 180 calendar days after the later of (i) such publication becomes an RFC or (ii) the Effective Date of this Agreement.

ICANN may request in the future that the reports be delivered by other means and using other formats.  ICANN will use reasonable commercial efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the information reported until three months after the end of the month to which the reports relate.  Unless set forth in this Appendix, any reference to a specific time refers to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
