<h4 style="margin-bottom: 0px;">ICANN Accredits First Registrar in Senegal</h4>
<p style="margin: 0px;">14 May 2007</p>
<p><strong>MARINA DEL REY, Calif.</strong>: The Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has signed its first accreditation agreement
with a Senegal-based Registrar – <a href="http://Kheweul.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">Kheweul.com</a> SA
from Dakar. </p>
<p>"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." </p>
<p><a href="http://Kheweul.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">Kheweul.com</a> has been accredited to register
domain names from the .biz, .com, .info, .name, .net, .org, and .pro top-level
domains. </p>
<p>"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 <a href="http://Kheweul.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">Kheweul.com</a>. "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." </p>
<p>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:

</p>
<p>ICANN has a contractual relationship with all accredited registrars that
clearly sets forth the obligations of accredited registrars. This information is
