<p>Theo,</p>
<p>This issue is definitely second to the contract amendments, but
still something worth exploring in our attempts to stop malicious
action while preserving a good experience for the legitimate user.</p>
<p>Bonus trivia: The Conficker case was the first time I became
aware of ICANN, and began studying it as a result. :)</p>
<p>Best,<br>

<div>I agree Mark, nothing surprising in the response from
Compliance. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, it also reads that there is no pressing issue. <br>
</div>
<div>The time that there was a pressing issue was with Conficker
(2008) and Avalanche (2016). These threats were neutralized with
efforts from LEA's, CP's and ICANN ORG. <br>
