Accreditation and RAA context

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations

For the registrable domain thesandbox.network behind this subdomain, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.

Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.

RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Accreditation is a contract, not a safety seal. Verify ICANN fees Read RAA §3.18 PHISHDESTROY INVESTIGATIONICANN funding, contracts, and DNS abuse oversight

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
