ICANN Contractual Compliance Metrics January 2024 to December 2024
Registrar Reporter Type Detail for Top Five Complaint Types Received
The chart below lists the types of complainants (Reporter Type) who submitted the top-five complaint types by volume against registrars. The Reporter Type refers to the capacity in which the complainant submitted the complaint (e.g., Law Enforcement Agency (LEA), Registrant of the domain name subject to the complaint, Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy and the Uniform Rapid Suspension (UDRP/URS) provider, etc.) The Reporter Type is selected at the time of submission by the complainant from a drop-down list within the complaint form – it is not determined by ICANN Contractual Compliance. Complaints resulting from ICANN’s own monitoring of compliance with the relevant contractual obligations will indicate “ICANN Compliance” as the Reporter Type.
