SUBMITTING A COMPLAINT TO ICANN CONTRACTUAL COMPLIANCE


THIS PAGE IS AVAILABLE IN:

 * English
 * العربية
 * Español
 * Français
 * Pусский
 * 中文

To submit a complaint, select the form next to the issue which best describes
your concern in the chart below. Before submitting your complaint, please read
the information on this page in its entirety.

ICANN has executed certain agreements with registrars and registry operators.
ICANN's Contractual Compliance authority is limited to the obligations set forth
in these agreements. These agreements are the Registrar Accreditation Agreement,
the Registry Agreements and the Consensus Policies. If your issue is outside of
this contractual scope or if it involves a party over whom ICANN has no
compliance enforcement powers, ICANN will provide you with alternative avenues
you may want to pursue.

Additional information on how to submit complaints concerning requests for
access to non-public registration data can be found here.

Information regarding existing policies and requirements, and ongoing policy
development work involving Domain Name Registration Data is available here.

The Registration Data associated with a domain name may be available by
performing a search here.

ICANN has no contractual authority to address complaints involving country code
top-level domains (ccTLDs), such as .us, .eu, .ac, or domain names registered
under a ccTLD (e.g. example.us, example.eu, example.ac). ICANN does not accredit
registrars or set policy for ccTLDs and has no contractual authority to take
compliance action against ccTLD operators. For inquiries and issues involving
ccTLDs, you may wish to contact the relevant ccTLD manager using the contact
details at https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db. This page will also help you
determine which top-level domains (TLDs) are country codes (outside of ICANN's
scope) and which ones are generic (within ICANN's scope).

ICANN does not have contractual authority or the technical ability to return a
lost domain name to you. Additional information on lost domain names can be
found at https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/lost-domain-names.

For information about the process and approach used by ICANN Contractual
Compliance to address complaints, please visit
https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/approach-processes-2012-02-25-en.

The information provided to ICANN via the complaint forms is subject to Section
2 of ICANN's Privacy Policy.

Domain Name System
Internationalized Domain Name ,IDN,"IDNs are domain names that include
characters used in the local representation of languages that are not written
with the twenty-six letters of the basic Latin alphabet ""a-z"". An IDN can
contain Latin letters with diacritical marks, as required by many European
languages, or may consist of characters from non-Latin scripts such as Arabic or
Chinese. Many languages also use other types of digits than the European
""0-9"". The basic Latin alphabet together with the European-Arabic digits are,
for the purpose of domain names, termed ""ASCII characters"" (ASCII = American
Standard Code for Information Interchange). These are also included in the
broader range of ""Unicode characters"" that provides the basis for IDNs. The
""hostname rule"" requires that all domain names of the type under consideration
here are stored in the DNS using only the ASCII characters listed above, with
the one further addition of the hyphen ""-"". The Unicode form of an IDN
therefore requires special encoding before it is entered into the DNS. The
following terminology is used when distinguishing between these forms: A domain
name consists of a series of ""labels"" (separated by ""dots""). The ASCII form
of an IDN label is termed an ""A-label"". All operations defined in the DNS
protocol use A-labels exclusively. The Unicode form, which a user expects to be
displayed, is termed a ""U-label"". The difference may be illustrated with the
Hindi word for ""test"" — परीका — appearing here as a U-label would (in the
Devanagari script). A special form of ""ASCII compatible encoding"" (abbreviated
ACE) is applied to this to produce the corresponding A-label: xn--11b5bs1di. A
