Join meeting and consult session recordings | Room: TBC

In 2022, DASC launched a survey to understand the ccTLD landscape with respect to handling the various aspects of DNS Abuse. After analysis of the results, the DASC is now ready to share part two of the survey findings with the ccTLD community. The DASC also shares further information about its repository, an online information source about DNS Abuse, for the benefit of ccTLDs.

The DNS Abuse Standing Committee (DASC) is the core of the ccTLD community-driven process around DNS abuse. The DASC was created as a dedicated forum for ccTLD managers to discuss the important topic of DNS abuse and share information, insights, and practices. In keeping with the nature of the ccNSO, the purpose of the DASC is not to formulate any policy or standards. Instead, its overarching goal is to increase understanding and awareness of the issues pertaining to DNS abuse, promote open and constructive dialogue, and ultimately assist ccTLD managers in their efforts to mitigate the impact of DNS abuse.

Relevant documents are available on its website and workspace.
