On Friday I was on a surprisingly interesting session at Rightscon 2018 in Toronto about GDPR
and WHOIS. The panel consisted of Eleeza Agoopian from ICANN staff;
Avri Doria who was recently appointed to the ICANN board; Elliot Noss
who runs large registrar Tucows;
Stephanie Perrin who has done a lot
of privacy work for the Canadian government and as an ICANN volunteer,
and me; Milt Mueller, who is now at Georgia Tech, moderated.
There
was a lot of overlap of roles on the panel. For example, I was there
as a security researcher, but I've also resold Tucows' service for
almost 20 years.

Among the many issues affecting ICANN's thousand new TLDs is collisions, that
is, the same name already used elsewhere.
The other uses are non-standard and unofficial, but some names turn out to have
been used a lot.
One approach to see how bad the collisions are is controlled interruption,
in which the TLD publishes wildcard records with obvious impossible values, in
the hope that systems that use colliding names see them and do something about it.
The process is pretty simple. For 90 days the domain publishes records like these
currently in the new .hotels TLD:
hotels. 3600 in a 127.0.53.53
hotels. 3600 in mx 10 your-dns-needs-immediate-attention.hotels.
hotels. 3600 in txt "Your DNS configuration needs immediate attention see https://icann.org/namecollision"
hotels. 3600 in srv 10 10 0 your-dns-needs-immediate-attention.hotels.
*.hotels. 3600 in a 127.0.53.53
*.hotels. 3600 in mx 10 your-dns-needs-immediate-attention.hotels.
*.hotels. 3600 in txt "Your DNS configuration needs immediate attention see https://icann.org/namecollision"
*.hotels. 3600 in srv 10 10 0 your-dns-needs-immediate-attention.hotels.
When the 90 days are up, the domain takes out the interruption records, and starts
putting in real ones.
That's the theory, and what the ICANN registry agreements require.
The practice turns out to be different.

Yesterday at ICANN 58 in Copenhagen there was session on
DNS Abuse Mitigation:
The Cross Community Topic Discussion proposed by the GAC Public Safety
Working Group will focus on ICANN's Efforts, based on answers to
questions in Annex 1 of Hyderabad Communiqué with expected
contributions from ICANN's SSR Team and Contractual Compliance.
In one of the talks, ICANN staff talked about the new Abuse Data Analysis
Platform, with an example with live data, including the ten worst gTLDs,
ranked by the percentage of the TLD's names that have various abuse indicators
(click on the picture to see it at legible size):

The latest ICANN domain auction brought the auction proceeds
piggy bank to about $240 million.
The application fees for the new gTLD round were $361 million
of which, at the
end
of March, they'd spent $227 million,
and their very conservative estimate is that at
the end of the process they'll have spent $289 million.
If you add the numbers from the private auctions to the ones for
the ICANN auctions, it's as much or more than the application costs.
These suggest a much better way to pay for the next round.
