14 June 2022 | UTC
The
ccNSO is planning a
policy session for
ICANN74 to showcase
its work. Two ccNSO
policy development
process (ccPDP)
working groups will
provide updates on
their progress and
seek input. Both
working groups will
also hold their
respective sessions
during ICANN74.
-
Third
ccPDP on the
Retirement of
ccTLDs (ccPDP3) |
The ccPDP3 working
group has
identified which
decisions related
to the retirement
of a country code
top-level domain
(ccTLD) that
should be subject
to consideration
by the group and
explored
requirements for
the review
mechanism. The
working group is
considering
various
requirements for
approval,
including the
bindingness of the
review mechanism.
The working group
charter, work
plan, and other
relevant documents
are available on
its website
and workspace.
- Fourth
ccPDP Working
Group on the
(de)selection of
Internationalized
Domain Name (IDN)
ccTLD strings
(ccPDP4) | The
ccPDP4 working
group completed
its review and
discussion of the
2013 policy
proposals for the
IDN ccTLD string
selection process.
The ccPDP4
consists of three
subgroups: the
variant management
subgroup, the
confusing
similarity review
subgroup, and the
de-selection
subgroup.
By
ICANN74, all
subgroups will have
completed their
initial proposals,
or will be in the
final phases of
doing so. During
ICANN74, the working
group will hold a
session to start the
stress-testing of
its draft policy
recommendations. The
working group
charter, work plan,
and other relevant
documents are
available on its website and workspace.

ICANN74
ccNSO DNS Abuse
Session
Thursday,
16 June 2022 |
08:30-10:00 UTC
This
session informs the
ICANN community on
the views of ccTLDs
from different
geographical regions
on DNS abuse. What
are their top
priorities? What do
they do to mitigate
DNS abuse? The
session serves as
useful input for the
ccNSO DNS Abuse
Standing Committee,
which is the core of
the ccTLD-driven
process around DNS
abuse. In keeping
with the nature of
the ccNSO, the
purpose of the
committee is not to
formulate any policy
or standards,
recognizing that
policy development
in this area is out
of scope of the
ccNSO policy remit.
The overarching
purpose is to raise
understanding and
awareness of the
issues pertaining to
DNS abuse, promote
open and
constructive
dialogue, and
ultimately to assist
ccTLD managers in
their efforts to
mitigate the impact
of DNS abuse.
