The Coordination Center established the Working Group in July 2025 and tasked it with the mission to assess whether there is a possibility and need to amend procedures dealing with domain name registration services, as well as requirements for accredited organizations (registrars). The Working Group includes representatives of the accredited registrars, the Technical Center of the Internet and the Coordination Center. The Working Group has already discussed operating modalities for registrars when identifying and confirming the identity of domain name registrants, as well as matters dealing with processing and storing the personal data of domain name registrants. The Working Group’s agenda also covered court disputes on domain names, requirements for accredited registrars and other topics. Based on its deliberations, the Working Group compiled the Terms of Reference for amending the regulations.
