Webinar: Statistical Analysis of DNS Abuse in gTLDs (SADAG) Study
by Joke Braeken Sept. 12, 2017

Sept. 12, 2017

Dear all, ICANN announced they will host an interactive webinar entitled, "The Statistical Analysis of DNSAbuse in gTLDs" (SADAG). The webinar is based on a study commissioned by the Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice Review Team<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56135383> (CCTRT) as part of its examination of consumer trust and effectiveness of safeguards that were built into the New Generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) Program. On 13 and 14 September 2017, the ICANN organization will host two separate sessions to accommodate the Western and Eastern Hemispheres, respectively: 14:00 - 15:30 UTC and 04:00 - 05:30 UTC (time zone support here<https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html>). Join the webinar to receive a briefing from the study's researchers on its methodology and findings. Attending the webinars will also allow you to provide feedback and ask clarifying questions prior to submitting your public comment on the study<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/sadag-final-2017-08-09-en>. This public comment period is scheduled to close on 19 September 2017. The CCTRT will consider the public comments as it works toward developing its final report and recommendations. Webinar details and how to attend: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-08-31-en Background In defining the parameters of the study, the CCTRT sought to measure rates of common forms of abusive activities in the domain name system, such as spam, phishing, and malware distribution. The study compares rates of these activities between new and legacy gTLDs, as well as employs inferential statistical analysis to measure the effects of Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC), domain parking, and registration restrictions on abuse rates using historical data covering the first three full years of the New gTLD Program (2014 – 2016). Researchers from SIDN<https://www.sidnlabs.nl/index?language_id=2> and the Delft University of Technology<https://www.tudelft.nl/en/> conducted the study.

Request for Proposal: ICANN Designated Agent for Registrar Data Escrow Services
by Joke Braeken Sept. 12, 2017

Sept. 12, 2017

Dear all, ICANN is seeking to identify one or more additional ICANN-designated Registrar Data Escrow (RDE) agent(s) suitable to provide RDE services to accredited registrars. Background In 2007, the ICANN organization began implementing an RDE program that required accredited registrars to regularly deposit a back-up copy of gTLD registration data with the ICANN organization, through its arrangement with ICANN organization's designated Registrar Data Escrow agent, or alternatively, an ICANN-approved RDE agent pursuant to the terms of its Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) and the Registrar Data Escrow Specification. Since the program launched, the industry has grown. Regulations have changed and, in turn, needs have evolved. Registrars are located throughout the world; thus, the ICANN organization will be considering RDE agents with the capability to offer broad global or multiregional support. Links * For a complete overview of the Request for Proposal (RFP), including the timeline, please see https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/rfp-icann-agent-rde-services-17… * Read more: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2017-08-17-en * Closing date: 23:59 UTC on 06 Oct 2017 Best regards, Joke Braeken ccNSO Policy Advisor joke.braeken(a)icann.org<mailto:joke.braeken@icann.org> Follow @ccNSO on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ccNSO Follow the ccNSO on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ccnso/ http://ccnso.icann.org

CCWG on new gTLD Auction Proceeds: first edition of its quarterly newsletter
by Joke Braeken Sept. 12, 2017

Sept. 12, 2017

Dear all, I am hereby forwarding you a message from the co-chairs of the CCWG new gTLD Auction Proceeds, regarding the availability of the group’s first quarterly newsletter. Thank you, Joke Braeken Dear all, This is to inform you that the CCWG on new gTLD Auction Proceeds has prepared a first edition of its quarterly newsletter. You will be able to consult the August 2017 edition of the newsletter on the group’s wiki space: https://community.icann.org/display/CWGONGAP/Newsletters The group’s newsletters are aimed at keeping chartering organisations and others interested up to date regarding the current status of the work by this group. About the CCWG new gTLD Auction Proceeds The new gTLD Program established auctions as a mechanism of last resort to resolve string contention. Most string contentions (approximately 90% of sets scheduled for auction) have been resolved through other means before reaching an auction conducted by ICANN's authorized auction service provider, Power Auctions LLC. However, it was recognized from the outset that significant funds could accrue as a result of several auctions. As such, these auction proceeds have been reserved and earmarked until the Board authorizes a plan for the appropriate use of the funds. Board, staff, and community are expected to be working together in designing and participating in the next steps addressing the use of new gTLD auction proceeds. It should be recognized though that these proceeds are to be considered as an exceptional, one-time source of revenue. The CCWG was chartered by the Address Supporting Organization (ASO), the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), the Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO), the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO), the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC), the Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC), and the Root Server System Advisory Committee (RSSAC) to propose the mechanism that should be developed in order to allocate the new gTLD Auction Proceeds. Following approval of the proposal(s) by the Chartering Organizations, it will be submitted to the ICANN Board for its consideration.
