Hello Olivier,

Thanks for sharing this, i recall you actually raised this during one of our meeting and i really did not consider the implication this much. Its interesting how people pay such huge amount and go through the application processes to end-up utilizing the TLD in such a manner. Within the numbers community, resources are assigned/allocated on "needs" basis. Are there polices that reviews/check usage of TLDs against the intent of requesting the TLD initially? I guess that could be where to approach this and reduce the growth of such abuse.

Regards

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
