    <p>Yes, for some Registrars it may be a "cash-cow", but not for all,
      if you want to compete in certain countries, it has to be free or
      you are out.</p>
    <p>Next year I suspect there will be a lot more offering it for free

          <div class="">
            <div dir="ltr" class="">Yes, you are correct. And as we
              consider this, we need to consider the consequences that
              will happen after that. 
              <div class=""><br class="">
              </div>
              <div class="">These reputation systems try to block
                malicious activity and minimize false positives. By
                reducing the number of datapoints available to these
                systems, they will lose precision, resulting in two main
                outcomes:</div>
              <div class="">
                <ul class="">
                  <li class="">Some systems will over-block, denying
                    legitimate registrants the full use of their
                    domains. Like the many examples I noted either,
                    e-mail will be the most impacted, but so will the
                    ability for users behind corporate firewalls to
                    reach websites. This will impact new registrants the
                    worst.<br class="">
                  </li>
                  <li class="">Other systems will under-block. They will
                    miss malicious domains that they otherwise would
                    have caught. This will result in increased
                    victimization due to spam, ransomware, banking
                    trojans, phishing, and so forth. </li>
                </ul>
                <div class="">All of these issues already have huge
                  real-world consequences, from financial loss(not just
                  for large companies, but for the savings accounts of
                  vulnerable people), to espionage, to election rigging,
                  and these consequences will get worse. As a direct
                  result of the loss of WHOIS for the gTLD system.</div>
                <div class=""><br class="">
                </div>
              </div>
              <div class="">Another follow-on consequence is when
                reputation systems are forced to paint broader strokes,
                they will more often threaten entire registrars. Imagine
                if a large network operator warns your company that you
                have too many abusive customers and threatens to block
                all your customers entirely. I have heard of these
                company-wide-blocking events happening, and in every
                instance I have heard of, it either makes the volume of
                abuse drop like a rock, or the registrar begs for
                forgiveness and cleans up the problem themselves,
                because this can be a death penalty. </div>
              <div class=""><br class="">
              </div>
              <div class="">Yes, many ccTLDs do not publish WHOIS data.
                And here are a couple of ways they are treated by
                reputation systems:</div>
              <div class="">
                <ul class="">
                  <li class="">Some ccTLDs experience very low rates of
                    abuse, like .se, and they don't have a problem</li>
                  <li class="">Other ccTLDs, due to their higher rates
                    of abuse, are entirely rejected on many networks.
                    .ru and .cn are the best examples of this, despite
                    having a large number of legitimate domains, many
                    networks block the entire TLD because it's just not
                    worth it.</li>
                </ul>
                <div class="">Also, please consider the state of the new
                  TLD's that ICANN released over the past few years, and
                  how much their commercial viability has been impacted
                  by abuse. Is it feasible for any business owner to
                  build their brand on a .xyz or .science domain? No, it
                  isn't! Not if they ever want to send e-mail. This is a
                  damning indictment of the system, and it is a direct
                  result of the "not my problem" attitude. Even if the
                  working group decides they don't care about the other
                  consequences, I think the basic commercial viability
                  of the gTLD system should be a potential
                  consideration.</div>
                <div class=""><br class="">
                </div>
                This working group needs to understand these issues and
                the consequences of our actions. If you don't think that
                these consequences will happen, or that you don't think
                abuse affects the commercial viability of domains, then
                let's have a conversation about that, and we can bring
                more evidence to the table. If you don't think these
                consequences are something we should consider at all,
                please say so, because that's a conversation that should
