DNS Abuse Standing Committee (DASC)

Purpose The ccNSO DNS Abuse Standing Committee (DASC) provides a voluntary forum for ccTLD Managers to discuss Domain Name Abuse and to share information, insights, and practices. While open to ccTLD Managers, membership is not limited to ccNSO members. The Committee does not develop policy or act on behalf of the ccNSO or its members; its goal is to raise awareness, foster dialogue, and support ccTLDs in mitigating abuse. DASC Resources DNS Abuse Library: A searchable, community-driven collection of tools, reports, and articles on DNS abuse. Browse the library and contribute any helpful resources. DNS Abuse Discussion List: Open to all ccTLD-affiliated individuals, this email list shares updates on new library content, upcoming events, and relevant discussions across the ccTLD community.
Charter Documents, meeting recordings, and additional information of the Committee can be found on its wiki space.
