One hundred twenty-seven (127) Registrars met the selection criteria and were included in the audit. During the RFI phase, one (1) Registrar was issued a Notice of Termination by ICANN Compliance for breaches of the RAA unrelated to the audit and was, therefore, no longer eligible to participate in the audit. The remaining 126 Registrars completed the RFI phase and participated in the Audit phase.
