High-level notes and action items DNSAM PDP1 18May 12:30UTC
by Feodora Hamza May 18, 2026

May 18, 2026

Dear DNSAM PDP1, Please see below the high-level notes and Action Items from today’s meeting. The next call is scheduled for Tuesday 26 May at 12:30 UTC. Kind regards, Feodora on behalf of Support Staff 2026-05-18 DNS Abuse Mitigation PDP1 WG<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DAMP1/pages/935624725/202…> Action Items: 1. Staff to update strawperson language on CQ5 and 6. Use the RrSg provided language as basis. 2. For CQ7 Staff to use/consider all WG input from CollabDoc and provide a cleaned up version for WG review categorizing the straw persons into Recommendations, Rationale and Implementation Guidance, where sensible and relevant. 3. NCSG to provide further examples on potential adverse impact on legitimate registrants. 4. WG members to review ICANN Advisory (see guidance “prompt”) and determine if additional guidance is needed from compliance. If so, draft a question in CollabDoc. (ICANN Compliance Advisory on DNS Abuse Contract Amendments: https://www.icann.org/en/contracted-parties/advisories/documents/advisory-c…) Important docs/links: * CollabDoc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GxM-Yrgv6sZPEYU8ikW4cRM5YqWsJuWGiQyO39p… * Wiki/Agenda/Slides: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DAMP1/pages/935624725/202… * Session Recording: https://icann.zoom.us/rec/play/62kQOMlus2fWhG9fLosCF1ApzSEVNJLCsjpt7o2ijvTf… High-Level notes: 1. Welcome (5min) 2. Discuss Strawperson CQ5 (30min) · WG members emphasized that ADCs are intended to identify potentially domains registered for DNS Abuse and are distinct from mitigation actions themselves. · The current PDP was characterized as focused on detection and identification activities rather than enforcement outcomes. WG members noted that mitigation actions already fall under existing Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) obligations and argued that remedies tied specifically to mitigation actions fall outside the scope of the present PDP. · Others noted that in practice the distinction between investigation and mitigation may not always be clear from the perspective of registrants. · WG members noted that ADC-related processes could potentially lead to account suspensions, takedowns, erroneous associations, or other adverse impacts even before a formal enforcement determination is finalized. · WG members noted that a PDP may identify issues outside its immediate charter and recommend that the GNSO Council address them through future policy work. · WG members acknowledged that the question of recourse tied specifically to mitigation actions may require future policy work, while still recognizing the need to evaluate whether ADC activities themselves create identifiable harms requiring safeguards. · RrSG provided Strawperson text on CQ5 which will be included in the CollabDoc for WG review. 3. Discuss Strawperson CQ6 (30min) * WG discussed whether ADCs should be subject to fixed timelines or whether the existing RAA standard of acting “promptly” should remain the governing principle. * WG members discussed proposals referencing timelines such as 72 hours versus more flexible standards tied to operational context and proportionality. * Many WG members supported retaining the existing “prompt” standard already embedded in RAA Section 3.18.2. * WG members noted the potential trade-off between fast action and conducting sufficiently complete and defensible ADC investigations, particularly for sophisticated abuse campaigns requiring deeper analysis. * WG members noted that “prompt” has historically been sufficient across ICANN contractual frameworks and questioned why ADCs should be treated differently and also noted that the term “promptly” already appears multiple times throughout the RAA and has not previously been considered unenforceable. * Some WG members suggested language such as “prompt but no later than 72 hours”. * RrSG provided strawperson on CQ6 which will be included in the CollabDoc. 4. Start deliberations on CQ7 (20min) * Discussed that Policy Recommendation should not be prescriptive. * WG discussed that by discussing and answering CQ1-6 they have already provided answers to this question. * Chair noted that current language can be categorized into Policy Recommendations, Rationale and Implementation Guidance (where relevant) for WG review and further discussion. 5. AOB (5min) * Chair to provide an update to WG on Impact Assessment approach and next step.

We still have some slots open, F2F and remotely. We would very much be interested in someone giving a technical explanation of how the recent Linux Kernel vulnerabilities work, as well, of course the published mitigations. We would also be very keen hearing about technical solutions in particular about conducting Associated Domain Checks (ie looking at trends or patterns when having decided a Domain Name was registered maliciously). greetings, el On 2026/04/21 21:18, Dr Eberhard W Lisse via CCNSO-TechDay wrote:> > > vTechDay > at ICANN 86 > (Sevilla) > > The ICANN Tech Working Group is again planning a technical workshop at > the ICANN 86 meeting (Sevilla) > > As the meeting will be hybrid so will be vTechDay which is currently > penciled in for Monday, 2026-06-08 for blocks: > > Block 1 10:00 - 11:15 (75 minutes) > Block 2 11:45 - 13:15 (90 minutes) > > > All times are local (Sevilla) time. > > We shall try to accommodate the time zone of virtual presenters in > setting the agenda. > > The TechDay workshop has been a part of ICANN meetings since 2006 and > has provided a forum for both experienced and new people to meet, > present and discuss technical topics related to registry and DNS work > and security. > > We are specially interested in: > > 1.

Action Items and High-Level notes: DNSAM PDP1 11 May 12:30 UTC
by Feodora Hamza May 11, 2026

May 11, 2026

Dear DNSAM PDP1, Please find below the high-level notes and Action Items from today’s WG call. Our next meeting is scheduled for Monday, 18 May at 12:30 UTC. Kind regards, Feodora on behalf of Support Staff 2026-05-11 DNS Abuse Mitigation PDP1 WG<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DAMP1/pages/935952445/202…> Action Items: * Staff to provide strawperson language on CQ5 and 6 based on today`s WG discussion. * WG members to review and provide feedback to CQ1-4 Important documents/links: * Wiki/Slides: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DAMP1/pages/935952445/202… * Recording: https://icann.zoom.us/rec/play/czEsEiPY0j9r2m-sKxkX1D072T1q9fwm8rh01IRoLj-R… * CollabDoc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GxM-Yrgv6sZPEYU8ikW4cRM5YqWsJuWGiQyO39p… High-Level Notes: 1. Welcome (5min) * Nick Wenban-Smith chaired the meeting, 1. PDP Updates (10min) * Vice Chair presented the path towards ICANN86 and what to expect. * VC shared some best practices when discussing and drafting policy recommendations. * Please provide rationale and alternative language, in case you/your SG cannot live with current draft language. 1. Start deliberations on CQ5 (35min) * WG members noted that ADCs are primarily investigative mechanisms intended to identify related abusive domains, while mitigation actions (such as suspension etc.) fall under existing RAA obligations and are out of scope for this PDP. * WG members noted that a recourse mechanism (outside of current PDP scope) should be added to the list of topics that can be addressed in the future by GNSO Council. * The group discussed whether ADC activities themselves could create adverse impacts for legitimate registrants and what these could be. * WG noted that should ADC have adverse impact on legitimate registrants the PDP should discuss whether remedies exist. * WG members noted existing procedures related to abuse mitigation and registrant protections. 1. Start deliberations on CQ6 (35min) * WG members discussed whether ADC reviews and mitigation actions should be governed by fixed timelines or continue under the existing RAA “promptly” standard. * Many members supported maintaining the existing flexible standard: * They noted DNS abuse cases vary significantly in complexity, urgency, registrar size, and evidentiary requirements. * Members noted that “promptly” already appears multiple times in the RAA and is enforceable through contextual compliance review. * WG members noted potential concerns that rigid deadlines could encourage rushed investigations, false positives, fragmented operational processes, or inconsistent mitigation quality. * Other WG members noted more specific guidance or timelines and pointed out that defined timelines would improve accountability, consistency, and auditability. 1. AOB (5min)
