<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">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">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">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: <A
href="http://www.icann.org/registrars/accredited-list.html">http://www.icann.org/registrars/accredited-list.html</A>.
</P>
<P>ICANN has a contractual relationship with all accredited registrars that
clearly sets forth the obligations of accredited registrars. This information
