Stephane --
Forgive the delayed reply on this, but I'm sifting through mail post-Dakar.
I agree that the council may want to acknowledge there are no authoritative
sources of data for these types of abuses and that monitoring is difficult at
best. That said, if the council so chooses, I would be happy to work with the
SSAC or others to identify where data might be available, if in fact it is.
Mason

Councillors,
Please see the response below from Patrik Fältström, Chair of the SSAC, in
response to our request in relation to evaluating and monitoring cross-TLD
Registration Scam and Domain Kiting/Tasting by the SSAC.
In light of this response, the GNSO Council might want to consider whether
there are any alternative approaches to addressing the Registration Abuse
Recommendations in this regard, or acknowledge that monitoring of these types
of abuses cannot be done at this stage by the GNSO Council or SSAC but that at
any point in time, should new data or information arise, these
issues can be re-opened for consideration by the GNSO Council.
We may want to discuss in further detail at the wrap up meeting.
Stéphane

Dear Stephane,
Thank you for writing to the SSAC regarding the outcomes of the RAP WG
on cross-TLD registration scam and Domain Kiting.
As to the GNSO Council request that SSAC consider evaluating the
cross-TLD Registration Scam and Domain Kiting/Tasting issues, upon review of
the RAP WG's outcomes and recommendations, we cannot see how the SSAC might
improve upon these findings.
We note that the SSAC does not have an operational role, and is unable
to monitor disparate TLDs for ongoing abuse, other than anecdotally. We do
care about abuse, and have completed several related reports that you may find
useful to your continued efforts. For example:
SAC044: A Registrant's Guide to Protecting Domain Name Registration
Accounts (05 November 2010)
SAC040: Measures to Protect Domain Registration Services Against
Exploitation or Misuse (19 August 2009)
SAC028: SSAC Advisory on Registrar Impersonation Phishing Attacks (26
May 2008)
SAC025: Fast Flux Hosting and DNS (SAC025) (28 January 2008)
SAC024: Report on Domain Name Front Running (February 2008)
We are, of course, ready to perform rigorous analysis if more data
regarding these or other alleged abuses is available. The protection of
registrants from abusive practices is of interest and importance to SSAC.
Regards,
Patrik Fältström
Chair, SSAC

Hi Patrik,
At its meeting on 6 October, in follow up to the
recommendations of the Registration Abuse Policies Working Group, the GNSO
Council tasked me as Chair, with regards to the recommendations on cross-TLD
Registration Scam and Domain Kiting/Tasting, to communicate to the Security and
Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) the findings of the RAP WG in this regard
and request that the SSAC consider evaluating and/or monitoring these abuses.
If the SSAC elects to conduct this work, the GNSO Council requests that the
SSAC inform the GNSO Council if it believes that further policy work by the
GNSO Council should be undertaken to address these two types of abuse'.
For your information, you will find attached to this message
the findings of the RAP Working Group in relation to these issues.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to
discussing this with you in Dakar if required.
Best,
Stéphane
