Brief Overview:

On 21 December 2015, Amazon Registry Services, Inc., Registry Operator of .MOI TLD submitted a Registry Services Evaluation Policy (RSEP) request to launch Registration Authentication Platform service for .MOI TLD.

As required by the RSEP, ICANN has undertaken a preliminary determination on whether this RSEP proposal might raise significant competition, security or stability issues. ICANN's preliminary review (based on the information provided) did not identify any such issues.

Following ICANN's preliminary determination that the proposal does not raise significant competition, security or stability issues, it was further determined that the change would require a material change to the respective Registry Agreement and that an amendment is needed in order to effect the change.

ICANN invites public comment on the proposed amendment to .MOI Registry Agreement, which will enable Amazon Registry Services, Inc. to launch Registration Authentication Platform service for its .MOI TLD.
