Sponsorship Agreement (.au)
This ccTLD Sponsorship Agreement
("Agreement") is by and between the Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers, a not-for-profit corporation, and .au Domain
Administration Limited (auDA) a not-for-profit organisation incorporated
under the laws of Australia.
1 Recitals
1.1
ICANN is a non-profit corporation formed on 30 September 1998 for
purposes of providing technical-coordination functions for the Internet
in the public interest. Among ICANN's responsibilities is to oversee
operation of the Internet's Authoritative Root-Server System.
1.2
The .au Domain Administration Limited (auDA) is a not-for-profit organisation
incorporated under the laws of Australia as Australian Domain Name
Administration Ltd on 23 June 1997. On 19 April 1999 it adopted a
new constitution and changed its name to .au Domain Administration
Ltd. with the intention of managing the .au top-level domain in the
public or common interest.
1.3
Effective 31 December 2000 auDA and the Government of Australia represented
by the National Office for the Information Economy (NOIE) and its
Minister for Communications, Information Technology and the Arts,
entered into an Agreement by which the Government of Australia designated
auDA to hold administrative authority for the .au ccTLD. The Agreement
appears as Annex 1 to this Agreement.
1.4
On 28 May 2001 in a communication from Chris Disspain, CEO auDA, to
the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), auDA formally requested
the redelegation of the .au domain to auDA. The communication contained
the auDA Constitution, a technical report, the 31 December 2000 letter
(see recital 1.3) and a summary of the Telecommunications Legislation
Amendment (TLA) Bill 2000, as well as a communication from NOIE to
Robert Elz (the .au manager at the time) on the Government's endorsement
of auDA as the appropriate body to assume the transfer of authority
for .au. The communication appears in Annex 2 to this Agreement.
1.5
On 18 June 2001 in a letter signed by Chris Disspain, CEO auDA, to
Senator Alston, Minister for Communications, Information Technology
and the Arts, regarding redelegation of .au, auDA reconfirmed its
commitment to the Government of Australia that it will comply with
clause 9 of the GAC Principles. The 20 June 2001 letter appears as
Annex 3 to this Agreement.
1.6
On 4 July 2001 Senator Alston wrote to ICANN's President and Chief
Executive Officer, Stuart Lynn, confirming the Government of Australia's
endorsement of auDA. The 4 July 2001 letter appears as Annex 4 to
this Agreement.
1.7
On 8 August 2001 ICANN's President and Chief Executive Officer, Stuart
Lynn, wrote Senator Richard Alston requesting reconfirmation of the
Australian Government's endorsement of redelegation of .au to auDA
in light of communications from the existing manager, Robert Elz and
the CEO of Melbourne IT. The 8 August 2001 letter appears as Annex
5 to this Agreement.
1.8
On 16 August 2001 Senator Richard Alston wrote ICANN's President and
Chief Executive Officer, Stuart Lynn, reconfirming the Australian
Government's endorsement of the redelegation of .au to auDA, its commitment
to ensuring administration of the .au ccTLD for the benefit of the
Australian community, and its support of ICANN as the appropriate
international entity to oversee the technical coordination of the
Internet in a manner that will preserve it as an effective and convenient
mechanism for global communication and commerce. The 16 August 2001
letter appears as Annex 6 to this Agreement.
1.9
On 31 August 2001 the IANA issued its Report on the "Request
for the .au Domain Administration (auDA) for Redelegation of .au Top-Level
Domain", finding that auDA is the appropriate delegee of the
.au ccTLD. The report appears as Annex 7.
1.10
auDA and ICANN desire for the Government of Australia to assume responsibility
for overseeing the interest of Australia and its Internet community
in the .au top-level domain, with ICANN continuing its role of preserving
the technical stability and operation of the DNS and Internet in the
interest of the global Internet community. To implement an allocation
of the respective responsibilities of the Government of Australia
and ICANN with respect to the .au top-level domain on that basis,
auDA and ICANN now enter into this Agreement to formally reflect their
commitments to one another.

Time Allowed for Compliance. The Sponsoring Organization shall
be afforded a reasonable period of time (not to exceed four months
unless the nature of the specification or policy established under
Section 5.1 reasonably requires, as agreed to by
ICANN and the Sponsoring Organization, a longer period) after receiving
notice of the establishment of a specification or policy under Section
5.1 in which to comply with that specification or policy, taking
into account any urgency involved.
6 Miscellaneous
6.1
Termination by the Sponsoring Organization. This Agreement may
be terminated by the Sponsoring Organization upon six months written
notice to ICANN and to the Governmental Authority.
6.2
Termination by ICANN. This Agreement may be terminated by ICANN
in any of the following circumstances:
6.2.1
The Sponsoring Organization fails to cure any material breach of
this Agreement within twenty-one days (or such longer reasonable
period as may be necessary using best efforts to cure such breach)
after ICANN gives the Sponsoring Organization written notice of
the breach.
6.2.2
The Sponsoring Organization's action or failure to act has been
determined by arbitration under Section 6.5 to
be in violation of this Agreement and the Sponsoring Organization
continues to act or fail to act in the manner that was determined
to violate this Agreement for a period stated in the arbitration
decision, or if no period is stated, twenty-one days.
6.2.3
The Sponsoring Organization acts or continues acting in a manner
that ICANN has reasonably determined endangers the operational stability
of the DNS or the Internet after the Sponsoring Organization receives
seven days notice of that determination.
6.2.4
After ICANN is notified by the Governmental Authority that the Sponsoring
Organization has contravened the terms of the Governmental Communication,
or the term of the Governmental Authority's designation of the Sponsoring
Organization as manager of the Delegated ccTLD has expired, ICANN
gives notice of its intent to terminate to the Sponsoring Organization.
6.2.5
The Sponsoring Organization becomes bankrupt or insolvent.
This Agreement may be terminated
in the circumstances described in Sections 6.2.1
through 6.2.3 above only upon thirty days notice
to the Sponsoring Organization and the Governmental Authority (occurring
after the Sponsoring Organization's failure to cure during the stated
period), with the Sponsoring Organization being given an opportunity
during thirty-day notice period to initiate arbitration under Section
6.5 to determine the appropriateness of termination under this
Agreement. In the event the Sponsoring Organization initiates arbitration
concerning the appropriateness of termination by ICANN, the Sponsoring
Organization may at the same time request that the arbitration panel
stay the termination until the arbitration decision is rendered, and
that request shall have the effect of staying the termination until
the decision or until the arbitration panel has granted an ICANN request
for lifting of the stay. If the Sponsoring Organization acts in a
manner that ICANN reasonably determines endangers the operational
stability of the DNS or the Internet and upon notice does not immediately
cure, ICANN may suspend this Agreement for five calendar days pending
ICANN's application for more extended injunctive relief under Section
6.5. This Agreement may be terminated immediately upon notice
to the Sponsoring Organization in the circumstances described in Sections
6.2.4 and 6.2.5.
6.3
Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, ICANN
shall notify the Sponsoring Organization of the successor to which
the management of the Delegated ccTLD has been reassigned in coordination
with the Governmental Authority. (The manner or result of selection
of the successor shall not be subject to challenge by the Sponsoring
Organization.) The parties shall then cooperate to transfer operation
of the Delegated ccTLD to that successor. In particular, the Sponsoring
Organization shall ensure the transfer of all relevant DNS and registry
data to the successor, subject only to the successor's commitment
to use the data in a manner consistent with the Sponsoring Organization's
prior written commitments made to data subjects regarding the use
of their personal data. The Sponsoring Organization acknowledges that
upon termination of this Agreement it will cease to be the recognized
manager of the Delegated ccTLD. The Sponsoring Organization agrees
to the reassignment of the Delegated ccTLD under the conditions and
in the manner described in Section 6.2 and shall
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ICANN (including its directors,
officers, employees, and agents) from and against any and all claims,
damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal
fees and expenses, arising out of termination of this Agreement according
to that Section.
6.4
No Monetary Liability. No breach of an obligation arising under
this Agreement shall give rise to monetary liability by one party
to another, provided that a party's failure to make financial contributions
as required by this Agreement shall constitute a material breach of
this Agreement.
6.5
Resolution of Disputes. All disputes arising out of or in connection
with the present Agreement shall be finally settled under the Rules
of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce ("ICC")
by three arbitrators appointed in accordance with those rules as amended
by this Agreement. The language of the arbitration shall be English.
The arbitration shall occur in at a location agreed by the parties
or, in the absence of agreement, in New York, New York, USA. Each
party shall nominate one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so nominated
shall, within 30 days of the confirmation of their appointment, nominate
the third arbitrator, who will act as Chairman of the Arbitral Tribunal.
ICANN and the Sponsoring Organization shall bear the costs of the
arbitration in equal shares, subject to the right of the arbitrators
to reallocate the costs in their award as provided in the ICC rules.
The parties shall bear their own attorneys' fees in connection with
the arbitration, and the arbitrators may not reallocate the attorneys'
fees in conjunction with their award. The arbitrators shall render
their decision within ninety days of the conclusion of the arbitration
hearing. For the purpose of aiding the arbitration and/or preserving
the rights of the parties during the pendency of an arbitration, the
parties shall have the right to seek a stay or temporary or preliminary
injunctive relief from the arbitration panel or in a court located
in Los Angeles, California, USA, which shall not be a waiver of this
arbitration agreement. In all litigation involving ICANN concerning
this Agreement, jurisdiction and exclusive venue for such litigation
shall be in a court located in Los Angeles, California, USA; however,
the parties shall also have the right to enforce a judgment of such
a court in any court of competent jurisdiction.
6.6
Choice of Law. Issues of law arising in connection with the interpretation
of this Agreement shall be resolved by (a) the rules of law determined
by the conflict of laws rules which the arbitration panel considers
applicable and (b) such rules of international law as the arbitration
panel considers applicable; provided that the validity, interpretation,
and effect of acts of the Governmental Authority and the Sponsoring
Organization shall be judged according to the laws of Australia and
the validity, interpretation, and effect of acts of ICANN shall be
judged according to the laws of the State of California, USA.

only upon the assignee's written agreement, enforceable by the other
party, to assume the assigning party's obligations under this Agreement.
Moreover, neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior
written approval of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
ICANN may assign this Agreement by giving written notice to the Sponsoring
Organization (a) in conjunction with a reorganization or re-incorporation
of ICANN, to another non-profit corporation organized for the same

Agreement (Sections 1 to 6) and
any provision in its Attachments, the provisions in the body of the
Agreement shall control.
6.14
Review of Agreement. At the request of either party, the parties
will in good faith review the appropriateness of the provisions of
this Agreement in view of any materially changed circumstances. Any
modifications agreed as a result of such a review will become effective
only in accordance with Section 6.15.
6.15

of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be binding unless
executed in writing by all parties. No waiver of any provision of
this Agreement shall be binding unless evidenced by a writing signed
by the party waiving compliance with such provision. No waiver of
any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute
a waiver of any other provision hereof, nor shall any such waiver
constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.
6.16
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together
