As part of its Underserved Regions initiative, ICANN has been exploring potential changes to the insurance requirements for registrar accreditation. ICANN seeks your input to determine how best to address potential changes to or elimination of these requirements: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-3-2015-01-15-en
