NEW: Country Code Top-Level Domain Participation in ICANN’s Domain Abuse Activity Reporting System
From: Dr. Samaneh Tajalizadehkhoob, Lead Security, Stability, and Resiliency (SSR) Specialist, Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO)

Since late 2019, country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) have been able to voluntarily participate in the Domain Abuse Activity Reporting (DAAR) system designed by ICANN's Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO). The DAAR system is used to study and report on domain name registration and security threat behavior across top-level domain (TLD) registries. Today, we are happy to announce the first eight ccTLDs who joined the project, .au, .ee, .ew, .nu, .se, .sv, .tw, .tz, are able to receive the DAAR data on a daily basis.
