Thanks Olivier. This may or may not be a coincidence, but I definitely did not plan on releasing my own data at the same time as Spamhaus.

However, I have conducted my own review of spam-heavy TLDs and will be publishing the results today. I contacted each registry directly and waited a few days to hear back from each of them. I can say that some of the registries have been responsive and other have not. Time will reveal how each registry handles the abuse issue, and this is what I plan to look at.

My report looks at all TLDs, not just new TLDs, but there is a clear pattern which supports the Spamhaus results, in that new gTLDs are rapidly passing legacy TLDs in abuse rates.

The report also editorializes ICANN's consumer trust issues in terms of the website and compliance.

Hello all,

as you know, the ALAC has been wondering about whether new gTLDs brought
consumer trust.
Well - an organisation has released a list of gTLDs that don't appear to
be as trustworthy as others when it comes to spam.
https://www.spamhaus.org/news/article/728/spamhaus-presents-the-worlds-worst-top-level-domains

Since this relates to spam, and we are concerned about universal
acceptance of new gTLDs, how likely is it that some of the TLDs listed
might be blacklisted in mailers in the future?
Kindest regards,

Olivier
