DNS Abuse Mitigation PDP1 WG (Associated Domain Checks) work plan received by GNSO Council
by Jennifer Chung April 20, 2026

April 20, 2026

Dear All, A note that the GNSO Council in its April meeting last week has confirmed and acknowledged receipt of the DNS Abuse Mitigation PDP1 WG (Associated Domain Checks) work plan. A brief high-level update on current status was shared with Council as well as planned work ahead before ICANN 68. GNSO Council appreciates the efforts the WG undertook, incorporating community feedback received, to find efficiencies and adjustments that streamline the workplan by 4-5 months from the initial draft. Best, Jen GNSO Council Liaison to the DNS Abuse Mitigation PDP1 WG

Re: Another numbers request.

Becky, you are the lawyer, I am not. I just mean a concept. Can you take down a Registered Name, just because (at least) another Name registered by same Registrant has been mitigated? If a single Registrant has 5 Names, 1 reported, investigated, proven as phishing, and mitigated accordingly, ADC done, and 3 of the others are mitigable, I still don't like that the 5th one would or could be mitigated as well. However as Marc wrote, you act against the Registrant (for violating the Terms and Conditions). How would that work? Can you really unilaterally decide to take Names down, or do you have to give notice of termination of the Registrant agreement (0 to n days notice)? So they transfer the Name elsewhere, and perhaps even register the mitigated Names again. Now you take a Reseller which has a Million Names. ADC finds 50, 500 or even 5000 in need of mitigation. Do you take the 50, 500 or 5000 names down or do you cancel the agreement with the Reseller (for violation the Terms and Conditions). What happens then to the Names left? Or if the Reseller is just irritated enough that they transfer significant Revenue elsewhere? There are enough accredited Registrars around, after all. The obviously even more difficult question is how to prevent them from becoming wise to the Policy and transferring the rest of a portfolio to another Registrar, when a single one is taken down, ie before the ADC can be done? We have not thought through the consequences of our considerations, and/or the cost. el -- Dr. Eberhard W.

Dear DNSAM PDP1, Please find below the high-level notes and Action Items from today’s meeting, Out next meeting is scheduled for Monday, 4 May 2026 at 12:30. There is no meeting on 27 April due to the CP Summit. Safe Travels and a good time to all travelling to Manchester. Kind regards, Feodora on behalf of Support Staff 2026-04-20 DNS Abuse Mitigation PDP1 WG<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DAMP1/pages/935952385/202…> Action Items: WG Members · Review preliminary language for Charter Questions 3 and provide alternative language/changes/suggestions/etc. · Add comments and specific drafting suggestions for all “preliminary language/ CQ1-3” were relevant. · Review early input for Charter Questions 4 and 5 and provide comments and feedback to be discussed during next meeting. Leadership/Staff * Update collaboration document, develop preliminary language with today’s comments. Important documents/links: * Collaboration document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GxM-Yrgv6sZPEYU8ikW4cRM5YqWsJuWGiQyO39p… * Wiki space/slides: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DAMP1/pages/935952385/202… * Recording: https://icann.zoom.us/rec/share/g9IUiTa38Sh-KUIzBeSMewHH70lrvVTQyHgHf_0Txki… [icann.zoom.us]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann.zoom.us/rec/share/g9IUiTa38Sh-KUIz…> High Level Notes: 1. Welcome (5 min) · Farzaneh Badi noted she joined an organization as part of Digital Medusa work called Future of Freedom of Speech, based in Nashville. · Reminder given on ICANN standards of behaviour, anti-harassment policy, and code of conduct. · Zoom settings have been updated and no Email will be asked to join the webinar. This was an unintentional setting change and has been addressed during the meeting. 2. Update ICANN86 planning (5 min) · Prep-Week webinar: Wed, 20 May 15:00 - 16:00 UTC · ICANN86: 4 DNS Abuse sessions (local time) planned for ICANN86. · 2 on Monday 8 June - 11:45 to 13:15 and 14:45 to 16:00 · 1 on Wednesday 10 June - 10:00 - 11:15 · 1 on Thursday 11 June - 11:45 - 13:15. 3. Continue discussion on strawperson CQ2 (20 min) · Chair presented revised text with new green-highlighted language reflecting prior working group comments and mailing list input. · General support for language allowing registrars to use a flexible set of criteria rather than a fixed checklist. · Discussion focused on whether there should be: · a minimum baseline expectation of checks using reasonably available information, while · preserving flexibility across different registrar business models. · Some WG members suggested, if registrars are given flexibility in methods, there should be some transparency around what factors are used. Could be periodic reports (6-month or annual), not necessarily incident-by-incident. · Some WG members noted obligations should be business model agnostic. · Other WG members noted, this could give threat actors a roadmap to evade detection. · Transparency reporting is not currently required under the RAA. · May be broader than this PDP and outside scope of Question 2. · Chair noted to include the Transparency topic as “interesting topic” to the list of topics to keep in mind and potentially communicate to Council. · Some WG Members linked transparency to Charter Question 5. 4. Discussion on preliminary language on CQ3 (25 min) * Chair presented preliminary language on CQ3. * Some WG Members objected to wording requiring a “reliable” internal data point due to ambiguity. * Also objected to language that could imply mandatory purchase/use of third-party intelligence feeds. * Split language into: · Must check one internal data point. · May use additional technical or abuse intelligence signals. · WG members noted one abusive domain should clearly be enough to trigger ADC and wording should not retreat from that. · WG members noted noted potential inconsistency in CQ1 and CQ3: · Earlier language suggested ADC would occur after mitigation. · Preliminary language in CQ3 noted flexible ADC before/during/after mitigation. 5. Deliberation on CQ4 (20 min) * WG members said registrars already must comply with: RAA, GDPR where applicable, National/local privacy laws * Investigations must follow evidence where it leads. “Strictly necessary” is too restrictive and unclear. * Better wording might be reasonable or reasonably necessary. * WG members noted raised distinction between: · Investigations yielding no result · Investigations leading to mitigation · Data needed for compliance etc. · Others noted against creating new retention rules where RAA already covers record retention. 6. AOB (5 min)
