Motion - DNS Abuse Small Team Report

Submitted by: Mark Datysgeld

Seconded by: 

WHEREAS,

1. The GNSO Council recognizes that the topic of DNS abuse is a longstanding topic and the GNSO has undertaken a variety of activities on this topic in the past, including considering which aspects of the subject of registration abuse are within ICANN's mission to address and in particular, which are appropriate for ICANN to establish policies that are binding on gTLD registry operators and ICANN-accredited registrars[1].
2. In February 2022, the GNSO Council tasked a small team consisting of Council members to consider what policy efforts, if any, the GNSO Council should consider undertaking to support the efforts already underway in the different parts of the community to tackle DNS abuse.
3. As part of its deliberations, the small team reached out to all GNSO Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies, as well as the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC), the Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) and the DNS Abuse Institute asking for input on what problem(s) policy development specifically is needed to mitigate, if any, as well as the expected outcomes if policy development would be undertaken.
4. In considering the external input received, the small team realized that the suggestions provided can generally be allocated to one or more of the following three buckets:
   1. Issues that may benefit from education / communication / outreach;
   2. Issues that may benefit from contractual negotiations between ICANN org and Contracted Parties; and,
   3. Issues that may benefit from GNSO policy development.
5. The small team delivered its report, containing 4 recommendations, to the GNSO Council on 10 October.
6. The GNSO Council received a briefing on the report and its recommendations during its October Council meeting.
