    Draft Report on New gTLD Program Safeguards to Mitigate DNS Abuse
    Available for Public Comment

15 March 2016

ICANN today announced the publication of a draft report on New gTLD 
Program Safeguards Against DNS Abuse. The draft report is available for 
public comment through 21 April 2016.

*Read the New gTLD Program Safeguards Against DNS Abuse draft report 
<https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/reviews/dns-abuse/draft-safeguards-against-dns-abuse-15mar16-en.pdf> 
[PDF, 1.17 MB].*

The report, which was written by ICANN staff, explores methods for 
measuring the effectiveness of safeguards 
<https://archive.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/mitigating-malicious-conduct-04oct09-en.pdf> 
[PDF, 128 KB] against Domain Name System (DNS) abuse that were 
implemented as part of the New gTLD Program. It defines the activities 
that constitute DNS abuse and assesses indicators of the rate of abuse 
in new gTLDs and the DNS as a whole. The report also explores user 
feedback with these safeguards and presents additional proposals for 
researching how these safeguards might be affecting abuse rates.

ICANN is now seeking input from stakeholders regarding the report and 
measurement of DNS abuse in new gTLDs. Following the public comment 
period, the report will be updated to incorporate the feedback received.

The New gTLD Program Safeguards Against DNS Abuse report supports one of 
several activities intended to help a community-based team of volunteers 
<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56135383> 
determine how well the New gTLD Program is impacting competition, 
consumer trust and consumer choice (CCT) in the DNS.


      New gTLD Program Reviews

ICANN's New gTLD Program has enabled hundreds of new top-level domains 
to enter into the Internet's root zone since the first delegation 
occurred in October 2013. Comprehensive reviews 
<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/reviews> of the program have begun and 
cover a variety of topics including competition, consumer trust and 
choice, security and stability, rights protection and other areas. Along 
with commissioning third-party analyses, ICANN is capturing stakeholder 
experiences regarding the effects of the New gTLD Program.
