Singapore E-Commerce, part of Chinese tech giant Alibaba, has met ICANN requirements. ICANN previously issued a warning to Singapore E-Commerce for non-compliance with contractual obligations. The registrar, according to ICANN, did not respond in a timely manner to complaints regarding domain abuse under its management, and also did not provide a clear explanation as to why this was not done. In addition, the company’s website did not meet the requirements of the contract - in particular, the names of responsible employees were not indicated there. Finally, Singapore E-Commerce has delayed payments to ICANN on several occasions. The latter circumstance is especially surprising given that parent company Alibaba cannot complain about financial difficulties.
However, the problem has already been solved. According to Domain Incite, Singapore E-Commerce responded to all points of ICANN's warning. It provided all the necessary documents explaining the delays in responding to complaints, made corrections to her website and, of course, paid off the debt. Thus, it no longer risks losing its ICANN registration, which would, of course, be a major scandal: Alibaba manages more than 6 million domain names, making it one of the largest domain registrars in the world. And failure to comply with a contract with ICANN for companies of this rank is a serious blow to their reputation. Although it is worth noting that Singapore E-Commerce is only one of three registrar companies within Alibaba, and at the same time the smallest of them all: it manages approximately 660,000 domain names.
