In its Final Report, the Registration Abuse Policies (RAP) Working Group recommended the creation of non-binding best practices to help gTLD registries and ICANN-accredited registrars address the illicit use of domain names. At its meeting on 3 February 2011, the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council requested ICANN Staff to prepare a discussion paper on this topic. ICANN Staff is in the process of writing this discussion paper which intends to raise a number of issues, identify existing best practices and recommend next steps for consideration. This workshop is intended to obtain community input on the topic of best practices. Taking into account the feedback received, ICANN staff intends to finalize the discussion paper for submission to the GNSO Council.
Who Should Attend? Anyone interested in registration abuse related issues and the development of best practices for gTLD registries and ICANN-accredited registrars.
