ICANN's Contractual Compliance Department published its fourth Semi-Annual Contractual Compliance Report [PDF, 475K]. This report summarizes ICANN's compliance activities from January through November 2009. During this period, ICANN continued work on two studies (Whois accuracy and domain names registered using a privacy or proxy service); completed work on two audits to determine registrar compliance with the Expired Domain Deletion Policy, and issued an advisory to clarify one of its provisions; monitored and investigated claims of Whois inaccuracy; and held a UDRP workshop. This report contains details regarding each of the studies, audits and activities.
