ICANN provides an overview of the registrar accreditation process. The presentation covers benefits of accreditation such as access to registries and participation in ICANN stakeholder groups. Considerations include fees, compliance obligations, and a $500,000 insurance policy requirement. The application process involves submitting an application and fee, background checks, approval and signing agreements. Common issues that can delay approval include incomplete responses, missing documentation, and insufficient capitalization.
