Non-PDP - Uniformity of Contracts to Address Registration Abuse

Last Updated:

Summary:

This activity is in response to a request by the GNSO Council for an Issue Report on the topic of Uniformity of Contracts, per one of several recommendations flowing from the Registration Abuse Policies Working Group (RAPWG). The RAPWG was tasked by the GNSO Council with defining abuse, making a determination between registration abuse versus use abuse, defining the most common forms of abuse, and understanding the effectiveness of abuse provisions within agreements in order to identify and recommend specific policy issues and processes for further consideration by the GNSO Council.

The objective for this effort is 'to evaluate whether a minimum baseline of registration abuse provisions should be created for all in scope ICANN agreements, and if created, how such language would be structured to address the most common forms of registration abuse'.
