[CPWG] ICANN DNS Abuse report (4 years of data)

[John McCormac]

ICANN published a report on DNS Abuse that's one of the most interesting 
of the last few years. It is based on four years of data but it also 
captures things that the EC report completely missed due to its 
extremely narrow timeframe. On page 5 of the ICANN report the change in 
the kind of abusive registrations from October 2017 to February 2022 
shows some kinds of abuse being reduced. This may correlate with a 
decline in bulk registrations.

There is an economic effect with some kind of DNS abuse in that low cost 
registration fees enable some kinds of abuse. The SIDN report from a few 
years ago also pointed out that there was a major shift of abusive 
registrations from the legacy gTLDs to the new gTLDs. That coincided 
with heavy discounting in some new gTLDs.
