The overarching purpose is to raise understanding and awareness of the issues pertaining to DNS Abuse, promote open and constructive dialogue, and ultimately to assist ccTLD Managers in their efforts to mitigate the impact of DNS Abuse. DASC LIBRARY | 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. DASC EMAIL LIST | Committee has 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 SURVEY | The DASC launched the first edition of the survey at the end of 2022, when ccTLDs from different regions, with different registration and governance models, responded to the survey. Respondents included both bigger and smaller organisations, both in terms of domain names under management and staff. It is worth noting that most respondents reported less than 0.1% of their names under management being affected by DNS Abuse. Finally, the survey results revealed that even ccTLDs with limited resources - including funding and staff – can effectively mitigate DNS abuse, with the help of DNS abuse policies and procedures and monitoring tools. The DASC survey provided rich results, and key findings were shared at ICANN76, ICANN77 and finally during a webinar in September 2023. DASC shared insights into what respondents consider to be actionable types of DNS Abuse, and which type of mitigation methods respondents use. Overall, the DASC survey provided valuable insights into the current state of DNS abuse mitigation among ccTLD registries, and identified several areas for improvement, including collaboration, effective use of DNS reporting tools, resource allocation, and education to effective DNS abuse mitigation. This also includes raising awareness among policymakers and the broader public. Read more here<https://ccnso.icann.org/en/workinggroups/dasc.htm> (scroll down to 2022 survey). Conducted in August - September 2024, the second edition of the DASC survey follows up on the initial survey from Q4 2022. It aims to uncover trends in DNS abuse mitigation practices across ccTLDs.
