• DNSAM PDP1 Wiki <https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DAMP1/overview?homepageId=...>
*Main takeaways Session1:*
• The DNS Abuse Mitigation PDP1 had four sessions during ICANN85.
• The first sessions aimed to establish a baseline of common understanding and cover administrative and procedural matters before substantive policy work begins.
• The purpose of the PDP is to consider new requirements for registrars to proactively check associated domains, once a malicious domain has been confirmed as being used for DNS Abuse.
• *Meeting Cadence: One 90-minute meeting per week**- **Mondays 12:30 UTC*
• Conditions for making this feasible: Avoid repetitive statements and “pontification.” Commit to *asynchronous work between meetings*.
• If progress slows due to inefficiency: *Additional meetings may be added.*
*Main Takeaways Session2:*
• Session 2 focused on what the working group should consider when wanting to reach consensus and how participants should work together during the PDP.
• The session revisited the Consensus Playbook, facilitated by Toby Berkman (Consensus Building Institute), who helped develop it.
• The goal was to reinforce constructive engagement, efficiency, and a shared understanding of the deliberation process.
*Main takeaways Session 3:*
• Session 3 focused on understanding how associated domain checks are currently conducted in practice and voluntarily by some Rrs.
• The session was designed to inform the working group, not to advocate for any specific method.
• Presentations were delivered by subject matter experts (SMEs) representing different registrar business models and perspectives.
• The session emphasized that no decisions would be made; it was intended purely for education and context building.
*Main takeaways Session 4:*
Session 4 marked the start of substantive PDP work.
• The working group moved from informational sessions to addressing charter questions.
• The discussion focused on:
· scope of the PDP
· working methodology
· discussion of Charter Question 1
• Charter Question 1: What triggers the requirement to investigate associated domain names?
• WG Members discussed different trigger models and considerations. WG members also provided some draft language to be considered for the WG during the next meeting.
• The chair emphasized that the charter defines the boundaries of the PDP, and discussions must remain within that scope.
• *Draft Language provided by WG members* *based on discussion: **«**When a registrar takes action under Section 3.18 of the Registrar Accreditation Agreement, the registrar shall promptly review other domains that are reasonably associated with that domain when there are clear indicators that other domains registered by the same customer may be involved in the same abusive activity, using information reasonably available to the registrar at the time of review, and take action against those domains where appropriate.**»*
