Revised Report on DNS Abuse and New gTLD Program Safeguards Now Available


18 July 2016

18 July 2016 - ICANN today announced that the "Revised Report on New gTLD 
Program Safeguards to Mitigate DNS Abuse" has been published.

Read the report 
<https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/reviews/dns-abuse/safeguards-against-dns-abuse-18jul16-en.pdf>
  [PDF, 101 KB].

The report, written by ICANN staff, explores methods for measuring the 
effectiveness of safeguards to mitigate Domain Name System (DNS) abuse that 
were implemented as part of the New gTLD Program. It explores which activities 
may constitute DNS abuse and provides a preliminary literature review examining 
rates of abuse in new gTLDs and the DNS as a whole.

The New gTLD Program Safeguards Against DNS Abuse report is intended to help 
inform the Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice (CCT) Review Team's 
analysis of how well program safeguards prevent DNS abuse.

The initial draft of the DNS Abuse Review report was published for comment 
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/new-gtld-safeguards-dns-abuse-2016-03-15-en>
  on 15 March 2016. The revised version available today incorporates 
suggestions received during the public comment period on potential research 
methodologies and metrics to assess safeguard effectiveness. The CCT Review 
Team is considering this report and the feedback received as it continues to 
design and execute its review of New gTLD Program safeguards.

The report of public comments

  [PDF, 469 KB], which includes summary and analysis of the comments received 
regarding the draft report, was published and provided to the CCT Review Team 
on 17 June 2016.


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 delegations occurred in October 
2013. Comprehensive reviews <http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/reviews>  of the 
program are currently underway in a number of areas, 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.
