MARINA DEL REY - The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announced on November 7, 2008 that it has signed an exchange of letters with the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) manager for .eg, EUN, .eg Registry Sector.
According to a press release by the Corporation, the Accountability Framework program provides two mechanisms by which ccTLD managers can formalize their relationship with ICANN. The first is an Accountability Framework document that sets out the obligations of a ccTLD manager and ICANN. It also covers dispute resolution and termination and is designed for ccTLD managers requiring a formal document with ICANN.
The second mechanism is an exchange of letters between ICANN and the ccTLD manager designed for those for whom a simple statement of commitment is more appropriate.
