If you missed it, after a year in pending status, the ICANN Board just voted to reject Recs 14 & 15 from the CCT Review. These were offered for mitigating systemic DNS security abuse.
#14 recommends amendments offering incentives - inclusive of financial ones - in the [RA/RAA] Agreements for the contracted parties adopting proactive anti-abuse measures. Nothing too heretical.
#15 recommends amendments to [RA/RAA] Agreements that establish thresholds of abuse at which compliance inquiries are automatically triggered and a higher one at which registrars and registries are presumed to be in default of their agreements.
We went on to recommend a community-developed DNS Abuse Dispute Resolution Policy (DADRP) if ICANN Compliance falls asleep on the enforcement job. [The text delicately eased into that like only "...if the community determines that ICANN org itself is ill-suited or unable to enforce such provisions."]
In my own view #14 is something regulators do with concessionaires time and again. Even the "light touch and by suasion" telecoms ones I know well in my home region.
Our ICANN don't play that!
