Additional Information
ICANN staff determined that it was premature to set forth a "final" agreement. ICANN staff prepared and presented a draft of a "status quo" agreement between ICANN and ccTLDs for comment as recorded in the 05 July 2000 ICANN Yokohama Meeting agenda, available at: http://www.icann.org/en/meetings/yokohama/cctld-topic.htm
The discussion draft of the ccTLD Manager-ICANN "Status Quo" agreement was posted on 05 July 2000, available at: http://www.icann.org/en/meetings/yokohama/draft-cctld-status-quo-agreement-05jul00.htm
It was later resolved that delegation of additional ccTLDs would only be established upon Board approval of stable and appropriate agreements between ICANN and the ccTLDs as recorded in the 25 September 2000 Resolution 00.75, available at: http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/minutes-25sep00.htm.
