From Jonathan & Olivier on DNS Abuse:

Certainly the topic of DNS Abuse is on the top of everyone’s mind, in the ICANN and end-user communities and the evidence suggests that implementation of the Temporary Specification (GDPR) has already had the predictable effect on research and enforcement. The CCT Review Team found unequivocally that the safeguards put in place in 2012 were ineffective and made a number of proposals based on a fairly restrictive definition of DNS Security Abuse. While we believe a more expansive definition of DNS Abuse is called for,  to promote trust in the DNS and for contract compliance, and we applaud the board’s and ICANN ORGs efforts to get the community working on a broad definition, the ALAC is interested in a commitment to implement the recommendations made by the CCT Review using their restrictive definition.  The definition of DNS Abuse can evolve over time, as community discussions progress, but there seems to be no doubt that modifications to contracts, more holistic tools and practices for ICANN Compliance and even a DADRP are called for, regardless of the definition of DNS Abuse that might come out of community discussions. Beginning with a commitment to making these reforms using the restrictive definition employed by the CCT RT seems like a good start. Would you commit to implementing them and allowing the definition of DNS Abuse to evolve organically as the context for which these new tools are used?
