Recordings will be posted here<https://community.icann.org/x/HBwFBQ>. About the DASC Survey The DASC conducted its first survey in late 2022, collecting insights from ccTLDs across different regions and governance models. The findings revealed that ccTLDs experience low levels of abuse and that even those with limited resources—such as funding and staff—can effectively combat DNS abuse through well-defined policies, procedures, and monitoring tools. The second survey, conducted in August–September 2024, builds on the 2022 results<https://ccnso.icann.org/en/workinggroups/dasc.htm>, focusing on trends in DNS abuse mitigation across ccTLDs. Key findings were presented at ICANN81 (Recording<https://icann.zoom.us/rec/share/zWumndZHMqGn4sjgKNNynoziqxyfOMpDDmfPzhN_gwlt...> | Slides<https://static.sched.com/hosted_files/icann81/c1/ICANN81%20_%20DASC%20_%209%...>). About the ccNSO DASC Since 2022, when the ccNSO DNS Abuse Standing Committee (DASC) was established, it has served as a forum for ccTLD managers to exchange information, share insights and discuss practices to mitigate abuse. The role of the committee is to raise awareness, promote dialogue and showcase practices, not to develop or promote policy. Relevant documents are available on its website<https://ccnso.icann.org/en/workinggroups/dasc.htm> and workspace<https://ccnso.icann.org/en/workinggroups/dasc.htm>. * DASC library<https://community.icann.org/x/Ege7Cg> | The DASC has created a library to share DNS Abuse-relevant information. The DNS abuse library<https://community.icann.org/x/Ege7Cg> includes links to tools, articles, reports and more. You can do both searches and suggestions for content in the library. We invite you to have a look. * DNS Abuse Discussion List<https://community.icann.org/x/BJJME> | The Committee has also launched a DNS abuse discussion email list<https://community.icann.org/x/BJJME>, open to all persons associated with a ccTLD with an interest in DNS abuse. The list will be used to regularly inform you about new additions to the library, discussions, and relevant upcoming events for ccTLDs. DASC at ICANN82 Attend the DASC session on Wednesday, 12 March 2025, from 13:15 to 14:30 (local time, UTC-7) at the ICANN82 Community Forum in Seattle, USA (8–13 March 2025). This session, open to all, will explore the role of accurate domain name registration data in combating DNS abuse. How crucial is it for ccTLD registries to maintain accurate data? What impact does it have on abuse mitigation? The session invites ccTLD managers and stakeholders to share perspectives on this topic. While approaches vary globally, ccTLDs consistently demonstrate low levels of abuse. Remote participation details and recordings will be available on the ICANN public schedule.
