Hi Feodora, quick question: When papers are produced for our work and presentation at the next meeting, when are they published by ICANN so we can look at them? Would it be possible to publish them no later than Friday morning so everyone has the ability to review them during work hours? While us Europeans can review on the Monday, there are those of us who do enjoy their week-ends and for whom the call is at 4 am on Mondays, so a little lead time would be appreciated so everyone is on the same level and able to prepare before the meetings...

Another numbers request.
by Naoum MENGOUDIS April 15, 2026

April 15, 2026

Dear all, Following the numbers being thrown around in the recent emails, It would be of interest to know the average number of domains an end customer holds. And maybe also the maximum number of domains an end customer holds, to have an idea of the extreme case scenario. This would give us a better estimate of the work needed to be done when doing ADC. [End customer means actual registrants, excluding Resellers and Privacy & Proxy Services] Having 100.000 abusive reports in total says nothing about the overhead of a possible ADC. Maybe ADC would actually help because the reports would be handled in groups instead of one by one (because, as you know, when you are "in the zone" you get more work done compared to starting and stopping and constantly switching contexts). For example, if the average ownership is 100 domains per end customer, you would have to check an additional 99 domains of that customer when one of his domains is reported. Better do it as a group, instead of waiting to do it 100 times in total at some point. PLUS, you can use heuristics, like, if you verify that 20 of the 100 domains of the customer are abusive, and using other available information and indicators (e.g. everything being registered via API and on the same day), you can just deactivate all 100 of the domains and nobody will complain about it (without even having to check further, saving lots and lots of resources). On the contrary, acting on each of the reports that will come in the future is way more resource intensive. And can we have some examples of real scenarios when an ADC would be detrimental to the resource use of the Registrar? So we can validate or not this argument, or any other related argument, or plan appropriate safeguards, instead of dismissing a good practice (i.e. the ADC triggered every time).

Leadership with support from staff develop and circulate iterative assessment questionnaire/checklist/tool/document for WG consideration. 2. Staff to update strawpersons in Collaboration Document based on WG discussion. 3. Staff to summarize discussion on CQ3 for WG consideration and follow-up discussion. 4. WG members to review Collaboration Document and suggest edits, changes, data, considerations and alternative language to strawpersons on CQ1 and CQ2. Important Links: * Collaboration Document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GxM-Yrgv6sZPEYU8ikW4cRM5YqWsJuWGiQyO39p… * Wiki/Slides (below agenda): https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DAMP1/pages/935755797/202… * Recording: https://icann.zoom.us/rec/play/PxWfCxjeNcZxg9aCnPIiedR2Sq9GIJ-ky0jTB3GdxpmI… High Level Notes: 1. Welcome (5 min) 2. Update Zoom Features/rules of engagement (5 min) * Working group roles clarified: · Members expected to actively participate in meetings and in consensus call. · Participants can engage during deliberations but not in consensus call · Alternates only participate if the primary member is unavailable. · Observers can attend calls but no right of posting and communicating in chat or via Email. · If alternates/observers want to share input to the WG they can do so via their SG rep. 3. Update on Milestones for April/May 2026 ( 5 min) * 7 meetings completed. Achievements: · Leadership team finalized. · Work plan and timeline agreed and sent to Council. · Collaboration document established. · Deliberations continuing Charter Questions 1–3. · Strawperson progressing CQ1 and CQ2 · Remaining before ICANN86 - 6 meetings (around 9 hours total). · Planned work: · Discuss Cluster A (1-6) charter questions. · Consider early input for each question. · Develop strawperson draft text. · Begin initial impact assessment on draft language. 4. Update on iterative approach on impact assessment (5 min) * Proposed Approach: Based on WG member input during ICANN86 conduct initial “lightweight”, iterative assessments per charter cluster. Final comprehensive assessment conducted at the end. Aim to avoid discovering “untenable” or “not board-ready” outcomes at the end. Lightweight/iterative approaches do NOT replace final required assessment. * Impact Assessments include: · Human rights<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yuJuDXh_M9dvVhQWsH1pYS2MEpl-I2dDeSr…> · Global public interest<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uVOXywoowxvM1Hn5GuCkkinuZiMc4smc/ed…> · Existing consensus policies<https://www.icann.org/en/contracted-parties/consensus-policies> 5. Discussion Strawperson on CQ2 (40 min) * Reminder on strawperson to CQ1 was presented. * Strawperson for CQ2 was presented after. * Possible criteria for CQ2 MAY include but are not limited to: · Same account /customer /registrant /“end customer” · Common patterns or coordinated activity · Information reasonably available to registrar · Some WG members noted minimum baseline obligations are needed · Others emphasize variability across registrar business models · “Customer,” “registrant,” “account,” “end customer” differ across models. Language should be updated accordingly. · Not all registrars can access same data (e.g., IP, registrant info) · Some WG members suggested to focus on same threat actor, same abusive scheme/campaign 6. Deliberations on CQ 3 (25 min) * Chair presented CQ3 as well as the early input to CQ3 and themes from previous discussion that fit into this question. * Some WG members noted this CQ cannot be answered without agreeing on CQ2. * Some WG noted that “investigation must remain distinct from enforcement”. * Chat input suggested checking at least one reliable internal data point, such as “same account/registrant email,” and using additional technical or abuse-intelligence signals where needed. * Some Members noted the WG should consider the ICANN Advisory on DNS Abuse contract amendments: https://www.icann.org/en/contracted-parties/advisories/documents/advisory-c… 7.
