Tucows appreciates the hard work of the Contracted Party House and ICANN Org negotiating teams in drafting amendments to the gTLD base Registry Agreement and 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement that define DNS Abuse and set requirements for Contracted Parties when presented with actionable evidence that a domain name is being used for DNS Abuse.

Submission Summary:
M3AAWG welcomes the Contracted Party House’s consideration of long overdue changes to the Base gTLDs Registry Agreement (RA) and the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) related to the pertinent issue of DNS Abuse. While we are happy to see this effort, we would like to note that this necessary step should be part of a coordinated effort to address DNS Abuse now and going forward. Individually, the proposed changes are insufficient to addre...
Submission Summary:
We welcome this revision of the RAA and RA to require registrars and registries to promptly take the action reasonably necessary to (or contribute to) stop or disrupt DNS abuse by registered domain names in the event of DNS abuse. This is an important first step by ICANN to improve the Internet environment.
In this revision, the definition of DNS abuse is limited to security-related matters. However, as stated by a speaker at the ICANN 7...
Submission Summary:
Amazon supports the proposed amendments and is encouraged by the process by which they were developed.
The amendments clarify that registrars must promptly mitigate DNS abuse upon receipt of an actionable abuse report.

The amendments also p...

Submission Summary:
The issue of DNS abuse, which includes activities like phishing, malware distribution, and spam, is a significant concern for internet users and organizations. Promptly taking appropriate mitigation actions against domains involved in DNS abuse is generally considered a positive step to protect users and maintain the integrity of the online ecosystem.
In many cases, contracted parties (such as domain registrars or hosting providers) have...

Submission Summary:
After long and often conflictual discussions around the very notion of DNS Abuse, these concise and balanced amendments represent significant progress and deserve to be welcomed by all actors. Within a clearly defined scope of abuses, they set very specific, yet flexible, responsibilities for contracted parties when dealing with abuse reports. The Secretariat of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network (I&JPN) therefore strongly enco...
