Inaccurate:

"In order to register a domain name, a Registered Name Holder (also known as a Registrant) has to use the services of an ICANN-accredited Registrar."

Subject: [ALAC-Announce] ICANN Publishes Registrant Rights and Responsibilities Webpage

Dear All,



ICANN has published a document that identifies available registrant rights
and responsibilities under the 2009 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA),
on a webpage that summarizes available registrant rights and
responsibilities including those that arise under ICANN Consensus Policies
and specifications, as they are incorporated in the RAA:
http://www.icann.org/en/registrars/registrant-rights-responsibilities-en.htm
.
The document, translated into several languages, is available at:
