[PC-NCSG] ICANN News Alert -- Draft Report on New gTLD Program Safeguards to Mitigate DNS Abuse Available for Public Comment

Wed Mar 16 22:45:07 EET 2016

Excellent questions actually :)

On your first question: there is a cross-community working group that is
now working to develop uniform principles to guide the initiation and
operations of future cross community working groups. The draft output from
this CCWG is currently under public comment comment until 02/04. As far as
I understand, we do not have a clear framework in place yet. However, I
believe that we should take a look and find in this draft report if
creating a CCWG to discuss new gTLD and DNS abuse would somehow conflict
with the principles:

Maybe others can clarify how many SO/ACs are currently necessary to create
a CCWG and if an SO/AC could block it.

Thanks
Mar?lia
