I am looking forward to recommendations from this team for PDP(s), addressed to the GNSO council. I don't see a way forward in bypassing the BUMP, as that would contradict the bylaws. Generally speaking of the DNS abuse, I think its less of a question of what is DNS abuse (how to write the definitions), it is much more what is in the ICANN (rather limited) remit.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Roboto Light";mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Roboto Light";mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Speaking of Covid registrations, I see that many actors in the ecosystem are trigger-happy and that we have a lot of false positives. For example, I had to intervene for covid19.rs to be unblocked at Domaintools and Quad9, and I heard of a similar case for the official Belgian domain/site. Such an approach significantly impacts the ability of people and organizations on the Internet to publish useful content. So, as always, it's complicated and needs balancing and multistakeholderism. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Roboto Light";mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Roboto Light"'>Best, Danko Jevtović<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Roboto Light";mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US> Denise Michel <denisemichel@fb.com> <br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, April 29, 2020 10:35 PM<br><b>To:</b> danko.jevtovic@board.icann.org; 'ICANN SSR2' <ssr2-review@icann.org><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Ssr2-review] ICANN Organization Blog on DNS Abuse<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'>Thanks for sharing, the I<a href="https://www.icann.org/news/blog/icann-org-s-multifaceted-response-to-dns-abuse">CANN blog</a>, Danko.

Multiple entities have asked ICANN to better govern the manner in which domain names are registered, and now especially, everyone is asking ICANN to hold contracted parties to greater accountability to prevent domains from being registered by malicious actors, especially for pandemic-related fraud and abuse. This requires greater scrutiny during the registration process. <o:p></o:p></span></p><ul style='margin-top:0cm' type=disc><li class=MsoListParagraph style='color:black;margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo9'><span lang=EN-US>What actions are ICANN taking that address this?<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='color:black;margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo9'><span lang=EN-US>In addition to high volumes of fraudulent domain names containing pandemic-related strings with which criminals try to fool Internet users, random looking or otherwise auto-generated names that are easy to register in volume and are being used by the hundreds to perpetuate pandemic-related phishing attacks.
