FIBES 1 - Pabellon 3C (GAC)
ID# 18277
Session DetailsDNS Abuse is a priority issue for the GAC. Continuing on a program proposed since ICANN81 by the GAC co-leads for DNS Abuse (European Commission, Japan, and the United States), covering the 2024 global amendments to ICANN’s Registry Agreement and Registrar Accreditation Agreement, which created obligations for domain name registries and registrars to mitigate or otherwise disrupt DNS Abuse, and taking into account the GAC 2025/2026 Annual Plan which sets out a two-pronged approach to the GAC’s work on DNS Abuse, focusing on: 1) advancing policy work, and 2) developing the capacity of GAC members on this subject, during ICANN86 the GAC will discuss:
- Status of deliberations of the Policy Development Process (PDP) Working Group on Associated Domain Checks launched in Mumbai, including preliminary proposals in response to charter questions and related areas of convergence and divergence between the GAC and the different communities participating in the PDP;
- Potential topics for future work in the ICANN community, as previously identified by the GAC and as discussed in the Preliminary Issue Report on a DNS Abuse PDP, for future targeted policy development, contractual negotiations between ICANN and Contracted Parties, or non-binding efforts (e.g., sharing best practices) and cooperation between relevant stakeholders;
- Possible DNS abuse mitigation efforts conducted outside ICANN’s remit.
