NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED

Hi Sharon,

Please ignore the previous email, as Mark pointed out its a very old version !!.

Please find attached a brief report on the registrant WHOIS abuse of the DNS in relation to what Cyber have seen this year across our main area of activity.

Also listed in the report is planned ALERT reporting process to ICANN for your reference.

If you need anything more from me such as some more examples please do not hesitate to contact me.

Many thanks
