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

I attended the "CCWG on CCWG" meeting in Marrakesh, which was rather interesting!, but don't have my notes on me.  I suggest asking Avri, who is an active member of the above, and surely knows

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: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/ccwg-framework-principles-draft-2016-02-22-en

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

Thanks

OK - a naive question(s).  Isn't there a process for agreeing that there should be a CCWG in the first?  And what if other SOs and ACs disagree with the substance of the WG and its formation?  And who tasks ICANN to undertake the report and makes that decision?

Hi,

I saw this too. I didn?t know anything about it until I read the announcement, but James Bladel did bring up a similar issue (to my surprise) during the GNSO Council Wrap Up session on Thursday. There was apparently a proposal from the GAC and ALAC to set up a CCWG to discuss safeguards for ?sensitive strings?.

I haven?t read the report yet, but I don?t believe that policies should be developed for the current round of new gTLDs outside of the GNSO, so don?t think the idea of a CCWG is a good one. I?m not sure what the purpose of this report is, but we need to keep an eye on what direction this is headed to.

Thanks.

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 [PDF, 1.17 MB].

The report, which was written by ICANN staff, explores methods for measuring the effectiveness of safeguards [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.

Comment on the report.

The New gTLD Program Safeguards Against DNS Abuse report supports one of several activities intended to help a community-based team of volunteers 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 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.
