The Review Team would like to draw our attention to recommendation 4 related to
DNS abuse. This recommendation for a DNS Abuse Dispute Resolution Policy (DADARP)
procedure is the first recommendation by the CCTRT to fail to gain unanimous support from
the Review Team.
According with the Draft of Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice Review Team the DNS Abuse Study indicates that the introduction of new gTLDs did not
increase the total amount of abuse for all gTLDs. Nonetheless, the results demonstrate that
the nine aforementioned safeguards alone do not guarantee a lower rate of abuse in each
new gTLD compared to legacy gTLDs. Instead, factors such as registration restrictions,
price, and registrar-specific practices seem more likely to affect abuse rates.
The results of the study indicate that the introduction of new gTLDs has corresponded with a
decrease in the number of spam associated registrations in legacy gTLDs, while malicious
registrations have increased in new gTLDs.
It is the conclusion of the report and the Review Team that existing safeguards do not
represent sufficient protection against DNS Abuse and that creative solutions need to be
evaluated.
This opportunity will be closed on January 8th and we consider this topic important to our organizations members. If you are interested on this please write us an email offlist.
