Hi, I agree with Farzaneh. If we can’t agree on a statement regarding DNS Abuse, I’m not sure on how we would proceed with it as a topic we wish to address as a regional community. As Farzaneh has suggested, a conversation on how to handle this might be in order. The Sub Pro PDP final report is a topic we may wish to weigh in on. The GNSO Council recently adopted the Consensus outputs coming produced by that report, and the ICANN Board will hold a public comment period on it, as part of its process in considering adopting it in its own turn. Our work on this report could be to address it during ICANN 70, or to prepare ourselves drafting a submission during that public comment period, or both. It would be a good idea for our community members to familiarize themselves with this report in order to be able to hold a meaningful discussion, and to reach consensus on a statement addressing it, but spoiler alert…, it’s a 400-page document, and not exactly light bedtime reading. Am happy to hear suggestions on how to proceed with this, practically speaking. The Sub Pro PDP final report is available here: https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/final-repo... Thanks.

I agree with Chokri. I don’t think discussion on DNS abuse can lead to a coherent statement on our behalf since it’s a very contested issue. We can discuss it on a call. What part of subsequent procedure would people want to work on? I have heard it’s a lot of materials to work with. We can pick a couple of issues perhaps.
