ICANN Revised Report on DNS Abuse and New gTLD Program Safeguards Now Available
by Greg Shatan July 19, 2016

July 19, 2016

All, This should be of interest to many of you, and in particular those following or engaged in the work of the CCT-RT. Announcement at: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2016-07-18-en and pasted below. Greg *18 July 2016* - ICANN today announced that the "Revised Report on New gTLD Program Safeguards to Mitigate DNS Abuse" has been published. *Read the report <https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/reviews/dns-abuse/safeguards-against-dns-abus…> [PDF, 101 KB].* The report, written by ICANN staff, explores methods for measuring the effectiveness of safeguards to mitigate Domain Name System (DNS) abuse that were implemented as part of the New gTLD Program. It explores which activities may constitute DNS abuse and provides a preliminary literature review examining rates of abuse in new gTLDs and the DNS as a whole. The New gTLD Program Safeguards Against DNS Abuse report is intended to help inform the Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice (CCT) Review Team's analysis of how well program safeguards prevent DNS abuse. The initial draft of the DNS Abuse Review report was published for comment <https://www.icann.org/public-comments/new-gtld-safeguards-dns-abuse-2016-03…> on 15 March 2016. The revised version available today incorporates suggestions received during the public comment period on potential research methodologies and metrics to assess safeguard effectiveness. The CCT Review Team is considering this report and the feedback received as it continues to design and execute its review of New gTLD Program safeguards. The report of public comments <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/report-comments-new-gtld-safegu…> [PDF, 469 KB], which includes summary and analysis of the comments received regarding the draft report, was published and provided to the CCT Review Team on 17 June 2016. New gTLD Program Reviews ICANN's New gTLD Program has enabled hundreds of new top-level domains to enter into the Internet's root zone since the first delegations occurred in October 2013. Comprehensive reviews <http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/reviews> of the program are currently underway in a number of areas, including competition, consumer trust and choice, security and stability, rights protection and other areas. Along with commissioning third-party analyses, ICANN is capturing stakeholder experiences regarding the effects of the New gTLD Program.

Kind regards, Chantelle ________________________________ Dear GNSO Councilors, Please see the following Call for Volunteers. Kind regards, Nathalie -- Call for Volunteers: GNSO Drafting Team to Further Develop Recommendations to Implement the GNSO's New Roles and Obligations Under the Revised ICANN Bylaws In Brief Per the motion adopted on 30 June 2016, the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council seeks volunteers for a Drafting Team to further develop recommendations to implement the GNSO's new roles and obligations under the post-transition ICANN Bylaws. What This Team Will Do The Drafting Team will work with ICANN staff to fully identify all the new or additional rights and responsibilities that the GNSO has under the post-transition Bylaws, including but not limited to participation of the GNSO within the Empowered Community, and to develop new or modified structures and procedures (as necessary) to fully implement these new or additional rights and responsibilities. The Drafting Team shall provide the GNSO Council with an implementation plan, which will have the consensus of the Drafting Team, including any recommendations for needed further changes to ICANN Bylaws and/or GNSO Operating Procedures to enable effective GNSO participation in ICANN activities under the revised ICANN Bylaws, not later than 30 September 2016. As part of the process of its consideration of the implementation plan, intended to be approved by a GNSO supermajority vote, the Council may further request that the Drafting Team work with ICANN staff to develop new, or propose modifications to existing, procedures and structures to implement the revised Bylaws for the GNSO. Any such new, or proposed modifications to existing procedures and structures to implement the revised Bylaws for the GNSO are also intended to be approved by a GNSO supermajority vote. How to Join Volunteers for the Drafting Team will be identified by GNSO Council members. Volunteers should express interests and can demonstrate reasonable knowledge of or experience with the process of revising the ICANN Bylaws or GNSO Operating Procedures.

GNSO Councilors are requested to identify volunteers by email to gnso-secs(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org> by 22 July 2016. Next Steps As noted above, the GNSO Council directed that this call for volunteers be circulated to the GNSO Council and that the volunteers should be identified by GNSO Council members. It is anticipated that the Drafting Team will convene online for the first time in early August 2016. Following that, regular online meetings will be scheduled in accordance with the Drafting Team's work plan, which it is expected to develop as one of its first tasks. Further Information and Preparation For those interested in volunteering for this effort, you are encouraged to review the table at: http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/revised-bylaws-notes-comments-procedures-14…. Background On 27 May 2016 the ICANN Board adopted a set of new ICANN Bylaws, as revised on 26 May 2016, that aim to reflect changes needed to implement the IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal and such adoption is contingent on the proposed transition away of remaining United States Government oversight of ICANN. The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council is aware that changes that may need to be made to the GNSO's current Operating Procedures and related mechanisms and to the ICANN Bylaws in order to give effect to new roles and obligations of the GNSO under the new Bylaws, such as those in this table (http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/revised-bylaws-notes-comments-procedures-14…) including but not limited to the GNSO's participation in the Empowered Community.

All: Here's an important planning email for all, whether you're going to Helsinki or not. And it's an email that seems to promise you will get fewer emails about remote participation details.
