ICANN Publishes DNS Abuse Trends
by Joke Braeken March 23, 2022

ICANN Publishes DNS Abuse Trends 22 March 2022 Blog post by Samaneh Tajalizadehkhoob, Principal Security, Stability & Resiliency Specialist https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/icann-publishes-dns-abuse-trends-22-… ________________________________ DNS abuse is one of the most important discussions for the ICANN community to have and ICANN is the right place to discuss issues related to technical abuse. However, depending on what you mean by DNS abuse, some types may not fall within ICANN's responsibility as the technical coordinator of the DNS. ICANN is not the Internet's content police. Instead, ICANN org has a program focused on DNS security threats<https://www.icann.org/dns-security-threat>, which adhere to ICANN's technical role and capabilities. To facilitate and inform ICANN community discussions, ICANN publishes trends related to DNS security threat concentrations through the Domain Abuse Activity Reporting (DAAR) project, based on security threat domains listed in Reputation Block Lists (RBLs). DAAR tracks security threat data for phishing, malware, botnet command and control domains and spam. To learn more about the DAAR project click here<https://www.icann.org/octo-ssr/daar>. Using DAAR data, ICANN recently published a report<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/last-four-years-retrospect-brie…> on DNS abuse. In contrast to many existing industry white papers and general discussions published on DNS abuse, this new report relies on four years of data. Typically, similar studies use data with a much shorter time span such as half a year. As a result, the report demonstrates that when discussing DNS abuse trends in general, we should be cautious because depending on the question asked, the data used, and the data timeframe, we will receive different results. No one organization or data provider has a comprehensive overview of all security threats that are listed on the Internet. Nonetheless, ICANN's DAAR datasets are another source of reliable and unbiased data and another source of possible research. Best regards, Joke Braeken joke.braeken(a)icann.org

Re: [ccnso-council] [cctldcommunity] ccNSO Council Statement on the neutrality of the ccNSO
by Alejandra Reynoso March 22, 2022

March 22, 2022

Dear Roelof First of all thank you for your email in response to the Council Statement. With respect to your questions, let me start with the general observation that the need to treat all ccTLD Managers equally and impartially is fundamental. By definition, membership in the ccNSO is open to all ccTLD Managers listed in the IANA Root Zone Database. This follows the basic policies for ccTLDs, specifically RFC1591 as interpreted through the Framework of Interpretation. This foundational principle of the ccNSO was recently (2 March 2022) confirmed with the proposed Bylaw change to include IDN ccTLDs in the ccNSO. Membership in the ccNSO ends automatically after a transfer or removal from the IANA database. As ccNSO we do not have a process to suspend or end a membership, nor did we want it as recently as ICANN 70, when the question was raised explicitly. Therefore, trust in the ccNSO is about being a trusted partner to all ccTLD Managers, independent of the environment in which they are embedded. It is about living up to our own ccNSO principles and acting predictably even under the worst circumstances and/or sometimes even at the expense of one’s personal views. To be very clear, the ccNSO Council condemns violence and war to resolve differences, now and in the future, anywhere in the world.
