Mea Culpa.<br>
I cleared up my own confusion here. This IS about a registrar
insurance waiver<br>

A flash of ICANN Board sanity here. Great! If my memory serves
me right, there may be a second related step necessary on the
insurance front. I believe it is correct to say that ICANN also
imposes an insurance requirement on contracts between Registrars
and Registries. Correct me if I am wrong but as I recall,
African Registries have also complained that the nature of the
insurance condition, as written in the contracts, is also very
burdensome.

Am I right...or wrong?

Hi,
<br>
<br>
Related to the discussion about developing economies and gTLD,
ICANN board just voted this resolution waiving the registrar
insurance requirement which represents a barrier in many
developing countries
