Updates by the rapporteurs for the various ccTLD-relevant sessions



First time we met since 2019. 2 topics: ccPDP updates, as well as DNS Abuse.

There were many new GAC members that could be overwhelmed with our information. We are available to talk to them on any topics they wish to discuss. Also consider option of intersessional webinars

Biyi chaired one of the sessions (theme: capacity building efforts by ccTLDs), Everton Rodrigues (.br) chaired the other one (there: meet the members). Both sessions were well attended. If you wish to view the recordings of the ccTLD News Sessions, or consult the agenda, go to https://community.icann.org/x/EYP3Cg There was an experiment with self-selecting breakout sessions at the end of the session, which increased the engagement with the audience. MPC did well with the session flow. 

Well attended sessions. Recordings are available

Alejandra: the technical panel on DNS Abuse was interesting and keeps the conversation going at a different level

Purpose was to run through the action plan on DNS Abuse. Strong support on info sharing and messaging. Metrics: supported, but some concerns regarding DAAR. concerns regarding DASC: just info sharing. Not a consensus or seen as the voice for ccTLDs generally. Comment by Pierre, which was supported by many.

Alejandra: let’s discuss later during our meeting today

Attended by 80 participants. Good conversations. 2 topics:

If anyone is interested in a more detailed written version of my Report on the Governance Session of March 8th: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BaAI_RQH7ab5OZ0OQqa0hC05LKrmyyTc/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=107907393009071369024&rtpof=true&sd=true 

Alejandra: good input for the sub-group working on COI procedure proposals. Stay tuned for progress updates and discussions at ICANN74

Good meeting. Topics included hybrid event in Den Haag, prioritisation and how to ensure the ccnso can work efficiently and expeditiously

Introduction and reflections. Presentation by Avri Doria. 5 categories. GPI framework: https://community.icann.org/display/prjxplrpublicint/GPI+Toolkit?preview=/58724547/138970274/Proposed%20Public%20Interest%20Framework_V3_22June2020%20.pdf 

Questions to test the public interest aspect of any new project or process. Helping when decisions are made. Pilot on 2 aspects: SSAD and SubPro (both GNSO processes). Small panel. 

Session well organised. Goals of the session were clearly identified and also what is in/out scope. Presentation by Marcej from Grenoble (EU DNS Abuse Study). Malicioulsy registered domains. In EU big portion of compromised domain names. Depending on category of malicious activity.

How to distinguish? Heuristic approach or machine-learning. Example project by Afnic-SIDN. Fully automated. High percentage of queries. 

What to do? What are the potential actions? Extensive discussion by panel and in chat. Panel with subject-matter experts and representatives by gTLD registries and registrars. Comments in the chat were interesting and could be discussed within the ccNSO as well. Irina made notes and is happy to share them with those involved.
