ICANN Accredits First Registrar in Senegal
14 May 2007

MARINA DEL REY, Calif.: The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers (ICANN) has signed its first accreditation agreement with a
Senegal-based Registrar – Kheweul.com SA from Dakar.

"We have accreditation agreements with more than 890 Registrars across the
world – and this is only the second in Africa," said Anne-Rachel Inné,
ICANN's Regional Liaison for Africa. "ICANN is continually working to
expand its international participation and representation – and this
agreement is an important step forward in that."

Kheweul.com has been accredited to register domain names from the .biz,
.com, .info, .name, .net, .org, and .pro top-level domains.

"We're proud to be the first ICANN-accredited Registrar in West Africa and
the second in Africa," said Mouhamet Diop, Chairman and CEO of
Kheweul.com. "Kheweul.Com is going to work closely with all African
country-code top-level domain managers and all world-wide registries to
provide domain name services to local African communities. We also plan to
promote the digitalization of African cultural heritage and help the
preserve of African multimedia content."

ICANN successfully introduced competition in the registrar marketplace
that has resulted in the over 890 ICANN accredited registrars now offering
a range of registration services. A complete list of accredited registrars
is available at: http://www.icann.org/registrars/accredited-list.html.

ICANN has a contractual relationship with all accredited registrars that
clearly sets forth the obligations of accredited registrars. This
information is available at:
