The new registrars will become part of the Shared Registration
System ("SRS"), the domain name registration system
for competitive registrars in the .com, .net, and .org top-level
domains. Stability of the Internet and continuity for consumers
are protected by the requirement that every business desiring
to become a registrar in top-level domains must first become
accredited by ICANN. Under the SRS competing ICANN-accredited
registrars register domain names utilizing one shared, central
registry operated and maintained by Verisign Global Registry
Services. Inc.
